This is driving me crazy!! I have Excel 2003 and can't get each
sheet to open up in its own window. I have about 10 Excel shortcuts on my
desktop and open them off & on all day. I keep closing the whole batch when
I want to just close the top one. How can I open each one in it's own window
like Word does?

Thanks,
Pam

Go to Window/Arrange which will show you all of your Excel windows and
you can open, close or arrange them at will.

Thanks for your reply Ed but it's really not what I'm looking for. I work on
a help desk and open and close different Excel sheets of different sizes all
day long. It's cumbersome to have to rearrange them over & over. The way I
have them now, if I open one at a time, it opens to show me exactly the
fields I need.

Is there anyway I can have multiples of the Excel program open at the same
time (like Word does)?

Thanks,

Pam

In Excel 2003 or earlier, click on Tools | Options | View tab | check
the "Windows in taskbar" box | OK.

You work a help desk? Then I guess you're lucky one of your users
didn't ask you the same question.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I have Excel 2003 which is a part of Office 2003.
I have that checked, "Windows in taskbar" and it still opens each Excel
sheet, one on top of the other in one Excel window. Any other suggestions?
