Default open spreadsheets into separate excel instance

I feel Excel should allow you to open new spreadsheets into separate windows
just like Word does. Then, you can manipulate them easily. I hate to open
different spreadsheets into the same Excel window. Yes, I understand how to
work around this, but it is painful when you want to Cut & Paste between two
different spreadsheets, then I have to keep opening a new Excel, FileOpen,
find the document, etc. Very insane. Needs to have an option in Excel
settings to work around this problem.

Default open spreadsheets into separate excel instance

In Excel 2007 I found an option to 'Show all windows in the Taskbar' under
Excel Options- Advanced - Display... Select it to solve your problem.

Which version are you using?
