[Group] after filename in Excel title bar?

What causes the word [Group] to appear in brackets after the filename in the
Excel 2003 Title Bar?

You have more than one sheet (tab) selected.

You may have done this intentionally or not. Click on a sheet that is not
currently selected to remove it.

Regards

Trevor

Good evening Tom

Group mode is invoked when you select a numebr of sheets (tabs) at the same time using Shift or Ctrl. Any changes made in one sheet will be reflected in all sheets, and results can be quite damaging to the unwary, and very useful to those in the know.

Try opening a new workbook, with say three sheets; highlight all tabs and then type something in A1 for it to be replicated across all three sheets.

Thank you Dominicb: I appreciate the warning of consequences also. I learn
something new everyday and I teach this stuff.

Trevor:
Thank you very much! I guess we just never noticed that before. I feel very
stupid!
