I have an installation of Office 365 (32-bit) on my desktop running under Win 7 Pro. FYI I have selected the option to save workbooks in the Excel 97-2003 format.

When I start Excel 2 workbooks "pop-up" on the screen, both titled with the same "Book#".
One of these workbooks contains the usual Row / Column / Gridline layout; the other simply has a blank gray area where the Row / Column / Gridline would normally be.

What is the purpose of this blank workbook?
I can I get rid of it I if choose to do so?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
