So, redirect it to a different Personal Folder. It's NBD. It's a option. Microsoft puts options in their products so people have options. That's why there's options.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

That is because there is only one running instance of Excel.exe. The behavior you see is controlled by an option in Excel (Excel Options | Advanced | Display | Show all windows in the Taskbar). This allows you to switch workbooks via the Taskbar. You have to manually launch Excel to get additional instances.I get 2 "windows" yes, sorta kinda. The taskbar shows 2 open spreadsheets.
But, if I maximize one, move it, then maximize the other, it opens in the same "window"
Moving from 03 to 07/10 is a big change. I don't blame you. It takes a long time to get used to but I'm forcing myself to. It's getting easier over time and you can start to see why they did it. Pretty much everything has a button rather than drilling through menus.Hated the menu bars layout and design and deleted the beta within a few days, i'll stick with Office 2003 for awhile longer
Ahhhh, so that's a feature huh? Makes sense...That is because there is only one running instance of Excel.exe.

Exactly... Easier once you get used to it. And especially easier for novices.Moving from 03 to 07/10 is a big change. I don't blame you. It takes a long time to get used to but I'm forcing myself to.

The other advantage I realized exists with showing each document on the taskbar is the ability to Alt-Tab between them.Ahhhh, so that's a feature huh? Makes sense...
Makes sense but then it doesn't... IDK. I can see both sides of the aisle.
Well, one example why you don't want that to happen is that you can't copy worksheets between workbooks opened in different instances.although it still doesn't make sense why you would have to manually start another instance of Excel, when it should open a new instance each time you open a spreadsheet.
Vista and 7 look the same on the outside but are much different inside. 03 to 07 looks different but who knows what behind the scenes stuff is the same. Maybe the long-term changes they want are being done in Office 10.I don't see how Microsoft has changed enough to make it super buggy like that... 90% of it should be the same.
2003 to 2007 was a huge jump, like XP was to Vista. But 2007 to 2010 is more akin to Vista to 7 jump.
No, they aren't.Vista and 7 look the same on the outside but are much different inside.
There's a crap ton of new features in 2007 than just the ribbon. Huge upgrade from 2003.03 to 07 looks different but who knows what behind the scenes stuff is the same. Maybe the long-term changes they want are being done in Office 10.
