To use Excel with multiple monitors (I use 4), first resize the Excel
application window from maximized to that it stretches across all
monitors. Then, open the workbooks. Resize and position each workbook
window so that it fills one monitor, one workbook window per monitor.

You may want to turn off the multiple task bar items. Go to the Tools
menu, choose Options, then the View tab. There, uncheck "Windows In
Taskbar".

Thanks Per, this just splits the single window. I have two monitors and would
like to use one spreadsheet on one. I have had it working like that
previously, but something has changed and I don't know what.

I would like to open two spereadsheets. I want to read one and edit the
other. At the moment, when I open the second spreadsheet, it replaces the
first one that I opened. I can see all the different spreadsheets on the task
bar, but they all appear to be sharing the same window.
