Splitting multiple Excel spreadsheets across multiple monitors

I could have used this bit of help yesterday when I was working with two spreadsheets that I wanted to view on my two monitors here at work.

On his blog Ant Drewery shows us how to change the File Type options for Excel (or any kind of documents that are automatically grouped together) so that multiple documents will open up in their own instance of Excel.

Good stuff for those of us who want to make the most of our multiple screen systems.

I came across a good little

I came across a good little article on multiple monitors and MS office at CineMassive Displays. checkout their "resources section". Good stuff. Definitely worth a quick read.

If you hold down the shift

If you hold down the shift key when launching Excel instead, you get the second instance of the application without the safe-mode prompt.

If you only do this

If you only do this occasionally, then you can hold down on the CTRL key as you launch the second instance of excel. This gives a second window. Read more about it for a trick at Search Provider plugins for IE7
