How to utilize multiple monitors with Microsoft Project 2010 (or other Office 2010 products)?
Depending on what sort of desktop you have maximising the application will either fill one monitor or both.
For example the nVidia control panel has 5 choices but the two that are relevant are:
Choose the nView display mode to use.
- As one large horizontal desktop (Horizontal span)
- Configured independently from each other (Dualview)
In the first mode maximizing will (should) fill both monitors. In the second it just fills one.
You don't say what graphics card you have, but ATI have a similar option. So if you configure your desktop to be one large desktop then I think you should get what you want.
Some Office programs, like Word, will open a new window automatically when you open a new file. Others do not. In most Office apps that don't automatically open a new window, the easiest thing to do is just launch a new instance of that program. I don't have Office communicator installed, but have tested this with both Excel and OneNote. Try this, and if it doesn't work, post in the comments and we can try to figure out another solution.
