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!!! ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

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. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "ocaptain" wrote in message ...

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 :-) -Anthony |
