Dual-Monitors

[Keith Woods]

PROBLEM: I just upgraded Windows to XP, but kept my
Office at Office 97. With dual monitors, when I have the
dialog box for "File-Open" up in Monitor #2, and click
directory combo box's down arrow, the directory listing
actually appears in Monitor #1. This only happens for
Office products.

OTHER: I have tried this on several graphics cards and PC
manufacturers.

WHAT ARE MY NEXT STEPS? Office XP?? Is there a pacth
out there????

Keith:

I'm not aware of any specific patch for this issue in Office 97 since O97 is
certainly out of its primary support phase at this point, being more than 6
years old. The issue also occured in Office 2000 and was patched in Service
Release 3 for Office 2K (which was released earlier this year).
