Default Multiple windows?

Allen,

I researched that very problem last week. It seems that this feature was
disabled in Office 2003, but I think it will be revisited in Office 2007. In
the mean time, I found a possible work-around if you were interested. Please
take a look at what I uploaded to my website for instructions
(http://www.graceba.net/~wmivey/New%2...S%20Excel.xls). This
will allow you a choice by selecting the Excel file you want in a new
instance (which I use from within Windows Explorer) and from within your
right click menu list to open the selected file in a new instance of MS
Excel. This allows me to work with two Excel files (one on each of my
monitors at work).

Let me know if you have any other suggestions...

In Office 2000, multiple Excel workbooks could be displayed in separate
windows, making manual comparisons and cross-referencing much simpler than
swapping views under the 'Window' menu or using 'Arrange'. Is there a way
to
turn this on in Office 2003?

(I still get multiple document windows in Word, so it seems odd that this
feature would me removed from Excel.)
