Ignore Other Applications

Q

quintully

This is a question about the error and work around discussed in "Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 101454†The error is something like
When you attempt to open a Microsoft Excel file from File Manager (or the Finder if you are using Microsoft Excel for the Apple Macintosh) or any program other than Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Excel is activated but the worksheet remains closed.

The fix is
1. On the Tools menu, click Options. Select the General tab.
2. Clear the Ignore Other Applications check box and click OK.

My question is: What is lost by taking this action
Why would a user select the "Ignore Other Applications"
