Would "Tools" "Options" "View" & check "Windows in Taskbar" get what
you want?

I found this when I came to ask for the same functionality in Excel and in
PowerPoint. The option above makes it even less user friendly, as far as I
can tell. When you choose that option, you can't switch between worksheets
via the taskbar at all. What we want is to have two Excel spreadsheets open
at the same time so that you can see and use both at once. The above
suggestion to have Excel open a new instance works, but not if you open a new
spreadsheet from within Excel, itself. I want to be able to have 5 windows,
each with a separate worksheet, all of which I can see at once (or at least
enough to click to pull it to the front). I use two monitors, so it's easy
to be productive this way.

Excel on the Mac works this way, but I'm on a PC, now. I vote for changing
it on the PC!
