Default Multiple Instances for Multiple Monitors...

Here is a link on running multiple monitors.

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/MultipleMonitors.aspx

Generally speaking you probably do not want to run multiple instances of XL.
If you do that one instance knows nothing of the other. Copy and pasting
between instances does not work as you would expect along with other
problems...

Hey Excel PowerUsers...

I want to have 2 different instances of Excel running simultaneously (just
like Word) that will let me have one XLS file running independently on one
monitor and a second XLS file running indepently on a second monitor.

All of the help documentation I've found on the matter speak towards having
separate taskbar buttons representing the 2 files...however, doing that only
allows doesn't give me 2 different independently running instances...

Is there a way to do this?
