Ignore Other Applications

Q

quintully

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 and/or you get Cannot find file error.

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.

Now I have seen this Q/A many times in this discussion group, but I have different question

WHY WOULD ANYBODY WANT TO USE “Ignore Other Applications� It is there for some reason. And if I deselect it, to fix the above, what have I lost
