Opening and Viewing Option for Two MS Project Files Simultaneously on Two Screens?
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.
1) open two projects that you want to see in 2 different screen
2) then using you mouse grab the green top portion of MS project screen and drag it then you will see that ms project is coming on two screens
3) Extened on either side to cover both the screens
4) Finally go in view and click arrange all
Done!
Like other people have said this work around can work, BUT it is not what people are asking for. We WANT to be able to open 2 separate windows whether it is one screen or two> this particular work around does not work for me because of the way my screens are set up. I have 3 screens and want to view 1 MS Project on one screen and the 2nd MS Project on screen 3. Screen 2 is my laptop screen (much smaller and in between the 2 larger screens. I do not want to have to reconfigure my work station so I can use a work around to what I and I am assuming millions of users want, which the same flexibility with MS Project as Excel etc. Some dork over at Microsoft has decided that they know better and don't want to offer what people are asking for. just give us what we want and we will be happy. Otherwise we will start looking else where. Stupid.
