Wow, that works. Jesus christ this has been a frustration for years.

Thanks

> Right-Click on Excel Taskbar Icon > "Microsoft Excel" > A new window opens.

Is that a windows 7 feature? It doesn't appear to work for XP. (Yeah yeah this desktop is in a govt dept that will get updated one day...)

Like the samstave this (mis)feature of Excel has been frustrating me forever.

Can't remember what the shortcut is (been on the mac bandwagon for 5 years) but it definitely works in XP as I was doing that for years. Maybe File > New Window or something like that.

Shift + left-click on the taskbar icon also opens a new instance of Excel.

Middle-click works as well

Awesome. Jesus I cant believe I never knew this....
