Open two excel windows side by side

[Guest]

I am trying to open two excel windows side by side. I just upgraded to
Office 2003. Previously, I had office XP on my computer and when I had a
excel file open and opened another, a separate excel window would open. I
could compare the two files side by side, minimize one window or another and
move the windows where I pleased. The only way to do this that I know of in
Office 2003 is open the 2 files I want to view and then go Window-> Compare
Side By Side. This is not exactly what I am looking for. I want the windows
to be two separate entities. I want the same functionality as the previous
version of excel. Please help.

Not with you, Compare side-by-side is additional not a replacement.


Open the workbooks and select Window>Arrange... and select you preferred
method, tiled, horizontal, etc.

How about Window>New Window then Window>Arrange>Vertical?

excel file open and opened another, a separate excel window would open...

Not sure on this one, but would it be the following...

Tools | Options | View Tab | and uncheck "Windows in Taskbar"

Obviously no one at Microsoft has a clue how to work Excel.

I am looking for the exact same thing that Dave is talking about in his
message.

It is not under

Tools " | Options | View Tab | "Windows in Taskbar"

IT IS NOT any of the tools under the WINDOW.

A completey separate window opens up. I have that function with every other
Microsoft Windows application but in Excel.

If I open a new Microsoft Word file, a new Microsoft Window opens up. I DO
NOT have to go to Window | Arrange or tile or whatever. A completely
separate window opens.

I know that the function is out there. One of my coworkers has it and has
no clue how he go it set up. The documentation in help is NO HELP.

I made a suggestion to Microsoft to make available again the multiple
windows for Excel.
