I have a small business.
I have an inventory made in OO spreadsheet.
I want to open a second OO spreadsheet to make some calculations for my taxes so I want to be able to refer to the first spreadsheet, but OO won't let me open a second spreadsheet. Why not? When I try to open a 2nd blank spreadsheet, it just pulls up the first that is already open. If I close the first and open a blank one and try to open the other one, the blank one goes away.



OOo opens each spreadsheet in its own window, not several in the same window. I *think* that your new spreadsheet is being hidden behind the old one because the windows are the same size. Try resizing the new one and I think the old one will appear from behind it. If you are using the Windows Operating System, you could also *right* click in the Task Bar and choose Tile Windows Horizontally or Tile Windows Vertically to make each spreadsheet automatically take up half the screen - assuming you have no other programs running; if you do, minimise them before tiling the OOo windows.

In any case, OOo certainly have open several different spreadsheets and/or text documents (Writer) documents and/or presentations. Performance may start to suffer if you have many documents open with limited memory and swap space.
