I have been having problems using my MacII with two monitors.  Having just aquired the second
monitor, I expected to be able to extend a Microsoft Word 3.02 window so as to have a full page or
more of text visible at once.  Word, and just about every other program I own, cannot
open a window larger than a single MacII screen.This seems funny, but not even the finder can
do this. So I am stuck with having more windows, a good thing, but they must be <= the size of the
MacII screen.  Having seen what looked to be demos of six monitors-for-a-window in magazine articles, I was wondering if there was a
way to RESEDIT(1.2d1) my way to larger screens.  Is there an easilly accessible parameter for window size,
and can it be changed.
I have tried friends' drawing programs, and etc., and they all seem to have this problem.

My system is:
MacII 2/40
256 color-menued screen
16 gray
IWII
Appletalked to appleshare hosts...mainframes...etc.



Inits were checked, to no avail.  Is this a system bug? ( or do I want to much?)



Please send email, or post stuff if this turns out to be a big bug ( I have a low level of
technical ability, so please be very explicit with help).  Thanks ahead of time.
