Dual monitors
I have had my two screens for about a month now. I've
rotated one as to be able to view documents and longer spreadsheets easier but I am having a little bit of trouble with the Excel spreadsheets. With each new Excel file I open they seem to want to only come up using the same program copy in the same window and cannot be "slid" over to the other screen. Excel will work separately if you actually start the program without a file reference and then open the file through File.Open. Word permits a file to be shrunk and moved to the other screen and then enlarged. Sure would like to be able to do that with Excel. Any ideas? Thanks, -- Allen |
