Just curious about "do exactly what you want to do"

In earlier version when you had two instances of Excel running you could not
copy and paste formulas from one instance to the other.

Are you saying you now do this with Windows 7?

I would have thought the copy/paste would be Excel dependent, not OS
dependent.

Hi Roger, you can have 2 instances of EXCEL running under Windows 7: I have
just tested it and it works OK and you can do exactly what you want to do.

Please hit Yes if my comments have helped.

Thanks.

Under Winxp and earlier I could have two instances of Excel open at the same
time. Win-7 seems to prevent this.

The answers previously given do not apply to Win-7 as I cannot find the
options such as TOOLS so I can make changes.
