Clarification. I do not want to view one worksheet over two monitors. I want
to opena workshet2007 and then open worksheett2008 and have each one occupy a
monitor.

When I open up any second file, it opens atop the first one. I can adjust
the sizes to fit side by side in one screen. When I try and drag the second
one across it just disappears.

Hello. I have a dual monitor and I do a good deal of side by side
comparisons. In older versions of Office, one could open up multiple
applications so that you could see an old and new version of a particular
document. I can still do this with Word and Publisher. I can drag one to the
left and one to the right and open them up full size. I cannot do this in
PowerPoint and Excel. It will not let me open up two windows. What I have to
do instead is open two documents and then shrink them down so they can fit in
side by side on one monitor. Normally I have to minimize a screen before I
can slide it over to the second monitor - it does not work with Excel 2007.
This is a definite drawback - and totally negates the benefits of having a
dual monitor. Is there any way to open up two application of the same program
- which is what I do with Publisher. (Word only opens once, but allows me to
view full sheets in two monitors).
