When I am working in Excel, I want to open separate excel windows when I open
separate excel files. I used to have this function prior to Windows 2003. I
still have this function with all the other applications in Microsoft 2003,
but not with Excel 2003.

Tools | Options | General "Ignore Other Applications" is not the function I
want.
Tools | Options | View "Windows in Taskbar" is not the function I want.
Windows | Arrange is not the function I want.

I want to be able to open two excel windows side by side, but I want to be
able to manipulate the size of each of the windows. I don't want them in the
same window but separate exterior windows. This function was available prior
to Windows 2003 in Excel and I can still perform this function with Word.
Why can't I do it in Excel?

Hi Jason,

If you are using Excel 2003 then you should see the 'Window / Compare Side
by Side' option.

That is NOT what I want. That is NOT helpful at all.

I stated I was not looking for Windows | Arrange or Compare. I am NOT
comparing files. I WANT to open SEPARATE windows for EXCEL.

Tell me. When you open more than one WORD file, do they open in the same
windows?

That is STILL NOT what I want. That is STILL NOT helpful at all. Did you
even read my orginal posting at all? I found all those options under the
help section.

I wrote that I was not looking for the "Windows in Taskbar" or "Ignore
Application".

When I am in Excel, and I open a new file, I WANT the new file to open in a
NEW Separate Window. It does it in Microsoft Word, and I know it does it in
EXCEL; however, I don't know how to configure it.

Are you asking to have the second file opened in a separate instance of
excel--so you have two copies of excel running?

If yes, then open the first instance (and open the first workbook).

Then windows start button|run
excel
(hit enter)

Then file|open the second workbook.

MSWord behaves differently than excel. You can have one instance of MSWord
running and with MSWord's Single Document Interface chosen, each document will
have it's own window (and each document will appear in the windows taskbar).
