In Excel 97, is there a way to view multiple files in
separate windows in the taskbar?

I know that in Excel 2K, it's done like this--
TOOLS - OPTIONS - VIEW - WINDOWS IN TASKBAR

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks!

:)

As for "any ideas would be appreciated," you can still open multiple Excel
windows (even if not in the taskbar). I'm aware of two different ways.

#1. From the Windows "Start" menu, use the cascaded menu to open Excel.
Once Excel is running, use "File >> Open" to open an Excel file. Repeat the
steps for the second file.

#2. Point to an Excel file on the desktop or in a folder. With the right
mouse button, click "Send To >> Excel". Repeat the steps for the second
file.

For #2, you might not see "Excel" in the "Send To" menu at first. To add it
there, put a shortcut to the Excel program into the folder
C:\Windows\SendTo\

By the way, if you have two files of the same name in different folders,
this allows you to have both open at the same time.
