I have Excel 2003 Professional. I'd like to look at two spreadsheets at a
time, but each in its own window. Excel defaults to opening each new
spreadsheet as another workbook in the current window. If each were in its
own window, I could have one spreadsheet on the left monitor, and the other
on the right monitor.

Thanks for any help!!

Start Excel twice. With two instance of Excel open call up your sheets
one in each window.

Resize your Excel application window to cover both monitors. The
open your workbooks and go to the Window menu and choose Arrange.

No problem. Sometimes the really easy solutions are the hardest ones
to see :-)

after installing MO Pro 2003, I had the same frustrations. I also run
mutliple monitors and find it easier when excel opens a workbook in its
own window.

the solutions provided both work (thank you), but is there a more
efficient solution to having four seperate windows for each workbook
without having to open Excel four seperate times before opening the
specific workbooks. (i prefer not to strech the excel workspace across
all four monitors as sometimes I will have other applicatios open behind
excel that switch to while still wanting to work with one or two excel
workbooks).

My preference would be to simply click on the file names of the excel
files I wanted to open in seperate windows without having to open excel
four times and then selecting the right file for each window.

thanks
