Q: Is it possible to run Excel Documents as independent windows?

[Alexander Schek]

Hi,
I have a dual monitor system... I would love to have each excel document in
the task bar by its own... So far, when I open 2 or more Excel documents, I
only got a unique MICROSOFT EXCEL task in the taskbar. Then within this, are
the documents.

Is this possible ?

Thanks!
Alex

"Alexander Schek",

Some say that you should "go to the Tools menu, Options item, View tab, and
check Windows In Taskbar option" -- then again, it's never worked for me.

HTH,
Andy

In Excel 2002 use Tool|Options open View tab and check Windows in Taskbar
Cannot rememebr if it was available in earlier versions

Works fine in 2000 as well running on XP - Option was the same.

Could this be the problem?

OFF2000: Only One Icon Visible in Taskbar When "Windows in Taskbar"
Option Is Selected

And windows in taskbar still is running one instance of excel--it just shows
multiple workbooks/windows in the taskbar.
