I have been using Windows 7 heavily for its feature to use two different
programs at once by sliding them to opposite sides of the screen. I can open
2 different files for word and compare them on the screen, but not excel.
When I do this with excel, wherever I move the 1st file I opened will be
where the second will be, so no possibilty of comparing to excel files. I
recently downloaded the Office 2010 beta and this still seems to be the case.
Is there any way of running comparing two different excel files side-by-side?
