Default opening multiple windows at once?

Sorry -- I'm a happy Excel user on a Mac who's temporarily using a PC and
obviously not fit for prime time. I cannot for the life of me get Excel to
let me open two windows at the same time with two different spreadsheets, so
that I can see them both and copy freely from one to the other. When
clicking on a new file on the desktop, Excel replaces my presently open
window with the window to the new file, thereby denying me the opportunity to
see the old one. When clicking on the old one in the task bar, you guessed
it -- the new one now disappears and the old one returns. Yes, I checked
Help, which told me to add a new window under the Window menu and then, when
it's live, click on the file I want to open. Only one problem: when I add a
new window, again, the old one disappears. Maybe there's a setting in the
Windows XP operating system causing this weird behavior and it's not Excel at
all? Helpl -- it would be nice to start being productive in the PC
environment and stop missing the familiar Mac quite so much...
