    I have dual monitors on my desktop which I love but so far I can't figure out a way to have excell open on both monitors. Word can do this just fine. Anybody know what I'm talking about and have a solution?, is there a solution or is excel designed to only be opened on one monitor at a time. This is really annoying when you have several excel workbooks going at once.

    I'm using windows xp home, Microsoft office 2003.

    dont know if it's a feature of the pro edition. But I'm abel to do it the default way... That is starting excel two times and drag one of the windows to the other screen. Not much help I guess...

    Dear god that is so simple and it works. Finally I can have my excel workbooks open on both monitors. I wish I knew this earlier.

    Thanks.
