Multiple Excel 97 Windows

[Chris]

In Excel 97, is there a way to view multiple files in
separate windows in the taskbar?

I know that in Excel 2K, it's done like this--
TOOLS - OPTIONS - VIEW - WINDOWS IN TASKBAR

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks!

XL97 does not have the "windows in taskbar" feature.

As for "any ideas would be appreciated," you can still open multiple Excel
windows (even if not in the taskbar). I'm aware of two different ways.

#1. From the Windows "Start" menu, use the cascaded menu to open Excel.
Once Excel is running, use "File >> Open" to open an Excel file. Repeat the
steps for the second file.

#2. Point to an Excel file on the desktop or in a folder. With the right
mouse button, click "Send To >> Excel". Repeat the steps for the second
file.

For #2, you might not see "Excel" in the "Send To" menu at first. To add it
there, put a shortcut to the Excel program into the folder
C:\Windows\SendTo\

By the way, if you have two files of the same name in different folders,
this allows you to have both open at the same time.
