open two excel 2010 sheets at the same time in different screens
How to open two different excel 2010 spreadsheets at the same time at the same computer individually?
I have two monitors, the main one and the extended one. and i want to be able to see the both sheets at the same time one the main monitor and the other in the extended one, for comparison work.
I have tried many things, but excel 2010 keeps one sheet open and the other is always minimized under it!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

Have you tried this: It should work with extended to second monitor desktop. You will not have 2 ribbons, of course
