Excel should open workbooks in seperate windows like Word does
 

I'm using Office 2003 for Windows and I have a multimonitor setup. If I have
2 Word docs open, I can have each in a seperate window, allowing me to place
them in seperate monitors. Excel and PowerPoint do not allow that - all open
docs are in the one program window. I would like to have this functionality
as well. I also have a Mac, and Excel for the Mac lets you do this, no
problem.

Thanks!!!

I agree. But as a workaround, you could resize your Excel program
window to cover both monitors, and have each document window in
its own monitor.

Thanks Chip... Yeah, I would normally do that, but I have a 17", 21", and
another 17, left to right, and they are at different heights for my work
area, kind of like a jet fighter, so I can't maximize a clean window...

Looking forward to a future revision, though :-)
