I'm using dual monitors with Office 2000/Word 2000 and it works great! A
few months ago, I believe it was, the subject of dual monitors came up
here. I document retail-management software, and I convinced the project
manager that I could work much more efficiently if I could have the
software running on one monitor and my document open on another. I can
also read e-mail or surf the 'net on the second monitor while my help
file is compiling on the first :) In any case, whatever problems your
technical person anticipates shouldn't originate with Word.
