Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 6.5
Operating System: WinXP
I am not sure whether it is a bug, but it disturbs me what whenever I duplicate a worksheet I have to look for the new worksheet, the focus stays on the original worksheet. Usually I produce a worksheet with designated columns and different formula and use them as templates for data processing -- so, if I duplicate a worksheet, it is highly probably I'll change something in the copy, rather than in original. Why not to give focus to the new worksheet?
Sorry for grumbling,
Alexander.

Hi Alexander,
Origin 6.5?
That's the way duplicate has always worked and I don't understood the logic either. You can create your own duplicate button that runs this script...
stat=exist(%H);
win -d;
switch(stat) {
case 2: doc -e W {%W=%H}; break;
case 3: doc -e P {%W=%H}; break;
case 5: doc -e M {%W=%H}; break;
default: %W="";
};
if(%W!="") win -a %W;
That will bring the new wks, graph or matrix window to the front. (It merely activates the newest window.)
...Depending on what version of Origin you really have this shorter script might work. It looks for the newest unminimized window.
%W="";
win -d;
doc -e O {%W=%H};
if(%W!="") win -a %W;

Hi, Mike,
I am puzzled a little bit. There are two versions of Origin I run: I have a private version of Origin, which I suppose to be 6.5 (I don't remember actually, but I believed it to be 6.5). Here, in my home institution they own the version 6.1, which I have to stick to, since they don't allow me to use any software rather than provided by them.
Could you, please, tell me in more details how one can create his own button?
In general, is there a good book about Origin? I've been working with it since the version 2 (16 bit) and the most experienced user in the department, still, I use only about 10% of its power. How could I learn more?
Regards,
Alexander.
