Excel 2007 does not bring work sheet to the front.

[Des]

As a programmer I understand how windows paint works. but here it has
stopped.

When I add a new spread sheet/work book to the MDI, The sheet shows in
front of the other one. If I then move the sheet old sheet around it
does not come to the front. It stays moving behind the later sheet.
Windows paint class does not appear to be working here.

Frustrating.

Ctrl+Tab cycles through open files same as Alt+Tab cycles through open
windows.

Yes it does and Alt-Tab does the same within a MDI application. BUT a mouse click should pring the child to the front. It used to work that way. Something has changed. Maybe a setting within office 2007?

In XP you can do that because the windows displayed in the taskbar. In
Win7 these stack under the taskbar icon for each running app. You can
enable the icon to show all windows via Options>>Advanced>>Display.
This is handier than cycling through multiple open docs via the
keyboard, but I do it either way depending on the number of open docs.
If 2/3 then the keyboard is my default unless I'm working in another
app and want to return to a specific workbook.
