Greetings,

I'm using an iMac with an extra display running WindowsXP and Excel 2010.
I would to have on each screen a single excel window so I can move data from one side (file) to the other. So far the one thing I can do is to toggle from one workbook to the other on the same screen. The best I can do is to expand excel over the two screens but is not ideal.
Is there a way to have an independent excel on each side?
Strangely I can do this with powerpoint...
Any comments?
Thanks in advance!

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Thanks Chuck,
I see there's no good solution.
However, I did find the shift+control+tab shortcut is a good way for me to toggle quickly from one file to the other.
Best,

If I remember correctly from my XP days, there should be a "task bar" I think it is called at the bottom of the page. It should have rectangle shapes there for each Excel that is open. Should be able to just click those once to open any one.
