open a new excel window for each excel doc
In Excel 2003, when I open more than one excel doc, it opens within the same
window. Where do I change the settings to open a new excel window for every excel doc I open? |

open a new excel window for each excel doc
If you want separate windows within the same instance of excel, you can try:
Tools|Options|View tab|Show section|Check Windows in Taskbar If you really want separate instances of excel... If you use File|Open within excel, then each of these workbooks will be open in the same instance of excel. This won't work for you. If you open the file via doubleclicking in windows explorer: You can change this setting: Tools|Options|General tab|Ignore other applications (check it) Be aware that one side effect of having this setting checked is sometimes you can't open a file by double clicking on it in explorer. (toggle it back and that should be fixed.) This shows up for workbooks that have spaces in their name or path: c:\my documents\excel\testworkbook.xls or c:\test of workbook2.xls Cannot find C:\my, then more "Cannot find ..." messages. It's more trouble than it's worth (for me, anyway). ========= If you're using multiple monitors, you may want to review Chip Pearson's notes: http://cpearson.com/excel/MultipleMonitors.aspx cwspalmer wrote: In Excel 2003, when I open more than one excel doc, it opens within the same window.
