Excel -- Multiple Open Workbooks in Taskbar 1

Typically when you open multiple workbooks in Excel each workbook has it's own icon on the taskbar. This makes it easy to move from workbook to workbook simply by clicking on it's icon in the taskbar.

I have a user who is using Excel but he is only able to get a single icon to appear on the taskbar when he has multiple workbooks open. If I go under "Window" from the menu bar I can see the other open workbooks and can change to one of the other workbooks by selecting it from the "Window" list.

I don't understand why he does not get the multiple icons in the taskbar? I've looked for a setting that perhaps he changed by accident, but I can't find anything that would affect that. I've done a detect and repair, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2000, I've applied the sp1a service pack. Nothing seems to help.

Any ideas?
 
Tools, Options, View tab, "Windows in Taskbar"
 
Yes!! Thanks for the help. That fixed the problem. I was unaware of that setting.

Gotta love Tek-tips.
