separate windows

Please suggest a method for displaying two separate Excel 2007 windows
rather than two spreadsheets within one window.

Start 2 instances of Excel.

Thank you, that'll work. I have been opening two spreadsheets by
double-clicking the files themselves and they always loaded into one
Excel window.

Hi, badgolferman.

FYI: With Excel 2010, the Jump List feature will let you do this easily.
Just highlight Excel 2010 in the Start menu, choose one spreadsheet from the
Jump List; then repeat, choosing the second spreadsheet. Two instances of
Excel appear in the Taskbar and can be accessed independently of each other.
(Yes, a third, fourth, etc., can be added in the same way.) I don't recall
if Excel 2007 had Jump Lists.

I'd also move one to the left of the screen and the other to the right
as discussed in the "Half Screen" thread yesterday.

Thanks - I tried this, and it also works in my Excel 2003. Who knew?
(OK, Rob knew!)

R. C. White's jump list suggestion seems not to work on this old
version, but heck, it's nice to have any method that works for me.

Jump lists are a function of the version of Windows not Office AFAIK...
