I have
WIN 7 64 SP1
Office 2010
Actual Window Manager 6.7.2

I have multiple excel spreadsheets (in the same instance) open and these show up as multiple tabs above the excel icon in the taskbar when I left click the Excel icon.

When they are on the primary monitor, I can switch between them by left clicking the entry above the icon. (desired behavior)

When they are on the secondary monitor, I can not switch between them by left clicking the entry above the icons. (I can click it but nothing happens). I need to use the "switch windows" button within Excel (4 tiny boxes).

(I saw similar issues that seem to habe been resolved for different Excel and Winodws versions.)

Hello Peter,

Thanks for the post.

The problem has been fixed.
The fix will be available in the next update.

As workaround you could use the 7.0 beta 2 version of Actual Window Manager (download link - http://www.actualtools.com/files/aim70b2.exe ).

Best regards.

Thanks for your quick reply, the Beta fixed it.

With the Beta, I noticed a different issue on the second monitor: some of the icons in the taskbar are empty (missing little picture) but fully functional. When dragging the mouse over it, it displays what it is in the tab above.

Hello Peter,

Thansk for the message.

Could you send me (support@actualtools.com) a screenshot of the broblem?

What OS are you running (version, 32 or 64-bit)?

Best regards.
