Default How do I get the different excel docs on 2 different screens?

I have two screens which I work from and I want to have one excel document
(full workbook) on one screen and another fullw orkbook on the other screen
as it makes it easier to cut and paste.

Penny,

Open up two separate instances of Excel. Do not open the workbooks from the
same instance of Excel.

Hi,

1. You can open two copys of Excel and put one on one screen and the other
on the second screen.
2. You can spread Excel over both screens and then choose Window, Arrange,
Tile. In one screen display one workbook in the other the second one.

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire

I'd be you'll want to keep both workbooks in the same instance of excel.
Otherwise, you may not get the choices you want when you do the copy|paste.

If you're using multiple monitors, you may want to review Chip Pearson's notes:
