help. How do you get mutiple Excel windows to be open at the same time -- NOT selecting spreads from the Windows menu item but Mutiple Windows on the screen each with there own Excel spreadsheet. Thanks, --max |

Thanks for posting Chip.
My "WindowNew Window" is only needed when you want to have multiple sheets from one workbook tiled. Gord On Sun, 25 Jun 2006 17:08:59 -0500, "Chip Pearson" wrote: With two workbooks open, go to the Window menu and choose Arrange then Tiled. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP |

Thanks for the response Chip.
Somethimes when you open multiple spread sheets, it seems they end be accumulated under one application. So they only way to access the different spreadsheets is a) clicking on "Windows" in the toolbar, and choosing the different spreadsheets. Or b) using Excel as an MDI and having multiple windows with Excel. What I want to know is how consistently have two spreadsheets open on the desktop and be able to swap back and forth between the spreadsheets?

Thanks Gord for responding so quickly.
Something may be wrong with my installation, but when I do Windows | New Window all I get is another copy of the current window. So the Windows list goes form "current.xls" to "current.xls:1" and "current.xls:2" not a new window like I would expect.

Mutiple Excel Windows.
Hi Peo, thanks for responding.
I don't know how "selecting windows in taskbar" works, other that to make entries into the task bar, and allow you to select from the taskar, it doesn't look like much. When you start a spreadsheet via double clicks in explorer all you get is more spreadsheets under the Windows menu item. If you start the second or thrid copy of Excel from the start menu then you can have multiple copies run, but at some point, I THINK, Excel will gather the spreadsheets under on entry. At it seems that is what happens. I thought there was a setting, a way, or something to tell Excel to open spreadsheets in a seperate window. How? but for now Start | MS Office | Excel ... File open ... Blah. Thanks all for your time and trouble. --max "Peo Sjoblom" wrote: Did you try my solutions with toolsoptionsview and selecting windows in taskbar -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom Excel 95 - Excel 2007 Northwest Excel Solutions www.nwexcelsolutions.com "It is a good thing to follow the first law of holes; if you are in one stop digging."

Go to Window, Arrange and select how you want to view the windows, either
tiled, horizontal, vertical etc and click ok. The arrange windows of current workbook is designed to work for the multiple windows feature that you have started using. -- Saruman --------------------------------------------------------------------------- All Outgoing Mail Scanned By Norton Antivirus 2003 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Gord Dibben" <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote in message ...
