Making Excel's open command work like Word
Using the new Office 2007.
The only way to get excel to open new windows is to start another copy of excel through the start menu and then open the document in there. I want excel to behave like word, and ALWAYS create a new window when a new sheet is opened, whether the document is opened through the office button in Excel or through Windows Explorer. The default behavior is immensely frustrating for a multi-monitor setup. |

Making Excel's open command work like Word
There is no way to make Excel behave like Word in this regard. They are
fundlementally different. The best you can do is to create different instances for each workbook but then you lose some functionality like copying formulas between instances.. -- Jim "280Z28" wrote in message ... | Using the new Office 2007. | | The only way to get excel to open new windows is to start another copy of | excel through the start menu and then open the document in there.

Making Excel's open command work like Word
I'm not sure about this, but the way I've seen it work is that if the
file that is currently open within Excel is maximized (not the excel window, but the file window within excel) and you open a new/existing file, then the file will come up in a new Excel window. If the file is minimized within Excel then opening a new/existing file will only bring up a new file window. Hope this works for you.
