Opening and Viewing Option for Two MS Project Files Simultaneously on Two Screens?
Hi Can two MS Project files be opened on two different screens at the same time? This option is should be there as it is for other usual MS software like Word, Excel etc. Hope this can ...
You can open either 2 windows of the same file or 2 completely different files at the same time across 2 screens.
I use a triple screen set up with my laptop and 2 x 34 inch widescreen monitors, with the display setting set to extend the desktop.
To achieve this you just need to reduce the project window from full screen view to a resizable window and then drag it to fill the two screens. When you have both files open you can use the Arrange All button in the View Tab to have them side by side one on the left screen and one on the right. - Resize them as necessary to make them fit perfectly. I do this all the time and it works perfectly.
MZ_Rasheed,
In a similar scenario, I usually extend the main Project window so as to occupy both screens in full in a two-monitor configuration, open the two files, and first arrange both files' windows horizontally by clicking the associated menu button (see View | Window | Arrange All) and then arrange them vertically by using the mouse such that each monitor contains only one of the windows of the files.
Hope this works.

This is the only option that works. Thanks for sharing Ismet!
