Yes Jay. That does work. If you are currently in Excel 98, Go to Start
Button and open up Excel 98.
1. Open a file.
2. Double click on the Green Bar at the top of the Excel program. It should
shrink down in size, but not minimize to the tool bar.
3. Go to File - Open in that window and choose a second file. (Although
this will not allow you to open a file with the same name, you should be able
to open a second file.
4. Now move the second file on the screen.

Is there a setting available so that each file of Excel that is opened
can be opened in its own Program Window?


These two different ways might help get separate windows for different
excel documents.

#1. From the Windows "Start" menu, use the cascaded menu to open Excel.
Once Excel is running, use "File Open" to open an Excel file. Repeat the
steps for the second file.

#2. Point to an Excel file on the desktop or in a folder. With the right
mouse button, click "Send To Excel". Repeat the steps for the second
file.

For #2, you might not see "Excel" in the "Send To" menu at first. To add it
there, put a shortcut to the Excel program into the folder
C:\Windows\SendTo\

By the way, if you have two files of the same name in different folders,
this allows you to have both open at the same time.
