Can I set up dual screen in Excel?
Does anyone know how to set up support in Excel for dual screens? The only
way I can seem to get it is by having two Excel sessions running. Word is much easier, you open the document and drag it over to the second display, but Excel won't let me drag it off the first screen. |

Can I set up dual screen in Excel?
Open Excel, and click the restore button (the button between the
minimize and maximize buttons). Drag the application window so that it fills both monitors. Next, open your two workbooks. Then go to the Window menu and choose Arrange- Vertical. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "pillar australia" pillar wrote in message ...

Can I set up dual screen in Excel?
Follow up question please - I have the same situation, and althought I know
how to move applications between screens, how do I open 2 workbooks at the same time in separate Excel applications? I want to view one spreadsheet on one screen, and a 2nd one on the next screen! Everytime I click on Excel to open the program, it just opens a blank workbook in the same Excel program. Does that make sense? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Is this the only option? That is not using dual screens seperately...that is
using one screen enlarged. "Chip Pearson" wrote: Open Excel, and click the restore button (the button between the minimize and maximize buttons).

Not the only option.
Your other option is two sessions of Excel. But you didn't like that. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Mon, 30 Nov 2009 13:07:02 -0800, patticharles wrote: Is this the only option?

Can I set up dual screen in Excel?
I see that this is not a very recent discussion, but it is the help that I
need, so thanks for the answers! My purpose for commenting today is that I continuously find it odd that MS still after all these years doesn't have the same functionality across all Office programs. "Dual screening" is something that many of us use, it is so simple in Word, yet a pain, albeit minor, in Excel. C'mon MS, another tweak for you to introduce please?
