Is it actually possible to run concurrent copies of Word or Excel?

Or does attempting to start a new copy when one is already running, just bring the existing instance to the foreground and open another document there?

I can't speak for Word, which seems to perform differently, but it's certainly possible - and frequently necessary for me - to run multiple instances of Excel. Regards, John Davies	[reply]
