    Double screen issue with excel.

    Hi guys,

    This is probably a windows thing rather than excel, but it's really been annoying me so I said I'd ask. I have recently started using two screens. I generally have two separate workbooks open, one on each screen. I switch between them a lot and it takes me two clicks each time; one to switch to the other workbook and another to click into the cell. Is there a way to cut this down to one click? i.e. click directly from a cell in workbook 1 to a cell in workbook 2.

    thanks

    Hi Zookopf,

    I encounter the same issues. I've looked into it a bit and have found that there's not much to be done about it. It is a Windows issue and more specifically, it appears to be a Windows 8 (and up) issue. All I can say is to just expect two clicks, no matter what you are doing.

    I think what is happening is that the first click tells Windows which WINDOW to make active, the second click will choose the cell for your cursor.
