Excel must open workbooks in separate instances similar to Word

M

Having become used to Word opening each document as a separate instance, I
find it very frustrating to open several workbooks, and have the close
behavior completely different.
Open 3 documents in Word, close one (close the application, close the
window, close the file, each other instance remains open.
If 3 Excel workbooks are open, and I close 1 using the application, or close
window, the other two close as well. I can only go the file menu, click on
close file, and THEN have the other two workbooks open.

I feel this would also be a great advantage over arrange window, where
switching back and forth between multiple work books is cumbersome and
limited at beat. Please consider this change

Use the "Close window" in the Upper right just below the Main close
instead. Hope this sorts it out for you.
