Full-screen in one of several Word windows (for multi-screen syste

Ben Edelman

I run a multi-screen computer, and I'd like to simultaneously view a document
both in full-screen mode (for my audience / guests) (on one screen), and in
the ordinary Word editor (Word's "Normal" view) (on another screen, for me).

I had hoped to be able to open a second window of the same document (Window
- New Window), then simply choose View Full Screen. But of course Full
Screen applies to all active windows, not just the current window.

I next hoped ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.FullScreen = True would do
what I want. After all, that code specifically says "ActiveWindow." But,
no, it applies to all windows.

Any possibilities? I'm comfortable writing VBA as needed, but I don't see
how to approach this.

In a pinch I can make do in the Full Screen mode. Certainly I know all the
shortcut keys I need, etc. But the ordinary editor has some real benefits --
for example, that I could open two separate documents, whereas Full Screen
inevitably restricts me to one doc (per screeen). So I would prefer Normal
View if possible.

I'm running Word 2003, but could upgrade to 2007 if need be.
