Microsoft Word documents appearing on all desktop screens

Postby bobhope » 27.10.2013 05:11:04

Hi everyone,

Here is the issue that I'm facing:

I'll open up a microsoft word document on one desktop, and then when I try to open up a different microsoft word document on the second desktop, the first document also pops up on the second desktop.

The initial desktop still only shows the original document, but if I move the original document on any of the desktops, it also moves on the other one, and if I close out of it in one desktop, it closes out of all of them as well.

The same thing happens with Excel files.

This is a really annoying problem because one of the biggest reasons I got this program was to separate out which documents are open on what desktop. Any ideas?

Thank you very much for your help.

:dex:

Try setting the option "Settings > Plugins and Extras > Behavior of windows on other desktops" to "Do nothing".
