How to group Excel windows in just one button on the taskbar?
- Mar 07, 2018
Thanks for providing the screenshot. Now, I probably understood what you were referring to.
Starting Excel 2013 Microsoft changed the Multiple Document Interface (MDI) to a Single Document Interface (SDI). You can see the confirmation of that in this link
I know this must be frustrating to you and many other users who added their voice by voting to bring the MDI option back.
There are currently 488 votes by users asking to bring that back, you can add yours here Excel User VOICE
I wish there was any workaround for this, but unless MSFT brings this feature back, there is no alternative.
Hi Eduardo,
this is more of a windows question rather than Excel question.
assuming that you have Windows 10
right click on your taskbar and then click on taskbar setting then following window will open and then in the "Combine taskbar buttons" dropdown select "Always Hide labels"
