   Found this searching for a solution for this issue in Excel too. It's the most annoying thing, I always just have to re-minimize a window that was minimized when I opened something else completely unrelated that also just happens to be in Excel. If this is a "Feature" I can't understand a single use case that would need it, I have never once wanted this to happen during use of either word or excel. It's been years MS, just nuke this one already...
