Hi,
I'd like to be able to have two separate Excel windows every time I open an
xlsx file, whether by double clicking it or by going to the MRU file list in
Excel 2007 or through the open dialog.
I had this in Excel 2007 in Vista, using the reg patches that are out there
and changing the dde settings in Excel. But once I installed Windows 7 and
re-installed Office, the old instructions no longer work.
This is a real pain and hurts productivity because it makes comparing two
spreadsheets annoying. If I want to compare two spreadsheets, I can't just
grab them from MRU, I have to open Excel twice and then open the files.
This is probably the biggest complaint we've seen from our users after going
to Windows 7. Some have opted to stick with XP just because of this.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
