How do I get multiple Excel Windows again
How do you set Excel 2003 to support seperat windows for each file? Since we
upgraded we have been fighting to get his back so we can view files side by side. Having the "Internal" windows inside excel does not achieve this very well for our uses. If you know how to get each excel file open in their own instance of Excel 2003 please help. |

How do I get multiple Excel Windows again
Elkar, That shows multiple icons in the task bar but only ONE Excel Window.
Clicking the diffrent Taskbar icons switchs the front or active workbook. However I would like multiple Windowed instances of Excel, so I could have for example Excel Word Excel |-------| |-------| |-------| | | | | | | |File 1 | | File 2| |File 3 | | | | | | | |-------| |-------| |-------| [Start] ================ 14:40 Thanks "Elkar" wrote: Tools -- Options -- View Tab -- Check "Windows in Taskbar" HTH, Elkar "W.

Are you starting a separate instance of Excel for each window you want to
use? Or are you opening all of your spreadsheets from one instance? Starting Excel seperately for each worksheet should work. It does for me. "W.

Thank you, But how do you get it to default to a seperate instance for every
file? "Elkar" wrote: Are you starting a separate instance of Excel for each window you want to use? Or are you opening all of your spreadsheets from one instance?
