Dual displays on a single computer - how to?
A client has asked about being able to edit two documents at the same time in Word. I know that two documents can be opened and arranged horizontally or vertically, but the resolution suffers in each (if viewed vertically), or if zoomed, only part of the document can be seen. I'm wondering if a 24" monitor would help, or would dual displays be superior - which I'm leaning towards. What do I need to set up dual displays - is this a software or hardware issue, or both?
