Have you ever noticed that in Word (yes, for the Mac) that if you move your document to another window and then click the zoom box in the upper right corner that the window zooms to your monitor with the menubar? You have to install the command, "zoom to fill screen" to get it to fill the other monitor. Now in Excel this works as it should. You click the zoom box and it fills the screen of the monitor the window is in. The annoying part is if you have changed the position of the monitors to each other (with the cdev) Excel still puts the window in the direction of the now moved monitor. Or so I assume. When I open documents designed for other monitor set-ups, I can't see them. I have to open another window onto the document. I guess I should be happy with the Word way because it is less annoying than the Excel way, but still you would think that they would be a little more consistent about this. By the way, before I discovered the "Zoom to fill screen" command in Word I called Microsoft support on this issue. The guy on the other end told me that this was they way that a mac was supposed to work. I showed him to be wrong by telling him to move a window to another monitor and click the zoom box while in Finder. I wish he knew of the command, I spend weeks doing it manually.
