Excel should have detachable workbook windows for mult. monitors.

[Mr. Macro]

I use two monitors at work and I function 99% of the time in Excel. It would
be wonderful if I could maximize one workbook on the first monitor and
maximize another workbook on the second monitor while both run in the same
instance of Excel. This would allow me to view more data while retaining the
ability to create formulas that can be easily linked to other workbooks with
a few clicks.

I understand that I could stretch the Excel application window across both
monitors and adjust each of the workbook windows, but it doesn't work so well
when the monitors are not the same size/resolution.

Thanks!
