From: Roger on 24 Dec 2009 13:43 I have two different workbooks I would like to view at the same time. I would also like to copy & paste cels from one spreadsheet to the other. Under Winxp and earlier I could have two instances of Excel open at the same time. Win-7 seems to prevent this. The answers previously given do not apply to Win-7 as I cannot find the options such as TOOLS so I can make changes.
From: trip_to_tokyo on 24 Dec 2009 13:57 Hi Roger, you can have 2 instances of EXCEL running under Windows 7: I have just tested it and it works OK and you can do exactly what you want to do. Please hit Yes if my comments have helped. Thanks. "Roger" wrote: > I have two different workbooks I would like to view at the same time.

Please hit yes if my comments have helped. Thanks. "Roger" wrote: > I have two different workbooks I would like to view at the same time.

Just curious about "do exactly what you want to do" In earlier version when you had two instances of Excel running you could not copy and paste formulas from one instance to the other. Are you saying you now do this with Windows 7? I would have thought the copy/paste would be Excel dependent, not OS dependent.
