How to force Microsoft Excel to open files in new window
This guide shows you how to do exactly that. Fortunately, there is a way to force Excel to open spreadsheets in new windows. Unfortunately, the default behavior of Microsoft Excel is to open spreadsheets in the same window. Rather, a best practice when working with multiple Excel spreadsheets at a time is to open the spreadsheets in separate windows, allowing you to easily tile the windows next to each other using WinSplit Revolution or, if you use multiple monitors, allowing you to place each window in its own monitor. However neither of these methods is very attractive if you use multiple monitors or if you like using window-resizer programs like WinSplit Revolution.

Repeat these steps for Microsoft Excel and Powerpoint if you want to disable Protected View there too. Once you check or un-check the settings you want you can close the windows.
