Viewing multiple spreadsheets "Mike Knoblock" <mknoblock[ at ]gmail.com> 14.07.2006 20:14:06 I have Excel 2003 Professional. I'd like to look at two spreadsheets at a time, but each in its own window. Excel defaults to opening each new spreadsheet as another workbook in the current window. If each were in its own window, I could have one spreadsheet on the left monitor, and the other on the right monitor. Thanks for any help!! Mike

Re: Viewing multiple spreadsheets slickS <slickS.2cqw1s_1155920113.6297[ at ]excelforum-nospam.com> 18.08.2006 16:54:02 after installing MO Pro 2003, I had the same frustrations. I also run mutliple monitors and find it easier when excel opens a workbook in its own window. the solutions provided both work (thank you), but is there a more efficient solution to having four seperate windows for each workbook without having to open Excel four seperate times before opening the specific workbooks. (i prefer not to strech the excel workspace across all four monitors as sometimes I will have other applicatios open behind excel that switch to while still wanting to work with one or two excel workbooks). My preference would be to simply click on the file names of the excel files I wanted to open in seperate windows without having to open excel four times and then selecting the right file for each window. thanks -- slickS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slickS's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=37727 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=561625
