How to display two spreadsheets next to each other

I'm having a major blockage here, but then I'm an old man, so I need the
help every once in awhile. What is the sequence of menu commands to get 2
spreadsheets next to each other, but I need to manipulate them separately. I
need to cut and paste between them. Please let me know how to accomplish
that..............I'm using Win xp home and use Office 2003 Std
edition.....Thanks.......Peter

With both workbooks open, choose Window/Arrange... Click the Vertical
radio button, then click OK.

I assume you are working with two seperate files.

Open them both and go to the menu <window><arrange>
select tiled vertical or horizontal

If you want to view two sheets in the same workbook:

Choose Window>New Window
Choose Window>Arrange
Select Vertical, and add a check mark to 'Windows of active workbook'
Click OK
In one of the windows, click on a different sheet tab
