Hi

When I open more than one excel file, it opens in the same window. Is there
any way I can change it so they open in seperate ones?

I am using Excel 2000 which is fully up to date with patches.

Thanks in advance.

Scott

Open another instance of Excel (usually by going into StartProgramsExcel).

Do you mean separate windows or separate instances.

If you meant separate windows (still the same instance of excel)...

Tools|options|view tab|check Windows in Taskbar.

I would like to have multiple windows of Excel, and can't get it to display
that way. I have dual monitors, and when I put one Excel file, open in one
window, and move it to monitor #1, then try to open another Excel file, in a
different window, and move it to monitor #2, the first file is also on
monitor #2. I have used the Windows in Taskbar option to get separate
buttons on the taskbar for the different files, but can't get the window to
actually separate the files in different windows. Can you help.
Thanks,
Jammer
