At any given time, one (and only one) workbook window is the active window. The active window accepts your input and is the window in which your commands work. The active window’s title bar is a different color, and the window appears at the top of the stack of windows. To work in a different window, you need to make that window active. You can make a different window the active workbook in several ways:

• Click another window, if it’s visible. The window you click moves to the top and becomes the active window. This method isn’t possible if the current window is maximized.
• Press Ctrl+Tab (or Ctrl+F6) to cycle through all open windows until the window that you want to work with appears on top as the active window. Shift+Ctrl+Tab (or Shift+Ctrl+F6) cycles through the windows in the opposite direction.
• Choose View?Window?Switch Windows and select the window that you want from the drop-down list (the active window has a check mark next to it). This menu can display up to nine windows. If you have more than nine workbook windows open, choose More Windows (which appears below the nine window names).
• Click the icon for the window in the Windows taskbar. This technique is available only if the Show All Windows In The Taskbar option is turned on. You can control this setting by clicking the Advanced choice in the Excel Options dialog box (the setting is in the Display section).

When you maximize one window, all the other windows are maximized, too (even though you don’t see them). Therefore, if the active window is maximized and you activate a different window, the new active window is also maximized.
