Hi All,
I have dual monitor setup & need to open up two different spreadsheets one on the left screen & the other on the right. The problem is that they won't seperate.
Is there some way to do this please?

Thank you for your assistance.

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Is it an Extended desktop?

Tried stretching the Excel application to fill both screens & then position the spreadsheets within it?

Or open two instances of Excel and display each instance on the a different screen?

Just suggestions :)

Sorry, don't know what to suggest then.
It works on my desktop.

You haven't got the windows maximised when trying to move them from screen to screen have you?

Hi Delmar,
No I have them shrunken so as to be able to move them from one screen to the other I even shrunk them inside the main screen and it still wouldn't work.

Hi Delmar,
I had another go at it & done what you suggested above & opened another excel application from File / Open & then shrunk each one & then repositioned them to fit into each screen.
This is what you intended for me to do from the start. All works great Thanks again.
