Windows 10: Excel and Adobe PDF Open in Back of Mail Window

Hi community,


I use Windows Mail Version 16005.12827.20290.0 and MS Office Home and Student 2019 on Win 10 Pro v 1909.


When I click on an Excel attachment from Mail, it opens behind the Mail window.


Is it possible to change this and have the Excel file open in front of Mail or in my other screen 2 screen set up?


Also, is there similar possibility with Adobe PDF Reader?


Thank you kindly,

Nestor
