What is the setting to have more than one Excel Window?
I have a dual monitor. With Microsoft word, if I open two files, they each
open in their own Word Window. I can then move one of the files to my other window. However, my excel is set to open in the same window with each new file. I want to be able to open each file to it's own window. I DON'T want to tile or arrange the files in one window. I want separate window programs opened with each file opened. Where is the setting for it? Every time I type in the search in Excel Help it tells me how to arrange or tile windows. I don't want that. |

You could try:
Tools|options|General tab|Ignore other applications (check it) And be aware that turning this setting off sometimes gives errors with workbooks that contain spaces in their path/name: C:\my documents\excel\my book.xls The error will look kind of like: cannot find c:\my .. then cannot find documents\excel\my then cannot find book.xls But you can always start multiple instances, then use File|open to open your workbooks.
