Using Both a Monitor and Your Computer Display
You can attach an external monitor or projector to your computer and use it
as an extension of your display (known as dual independent display or extended
desktop mode). This mode allows you to use both screens independently and
drag objects from one screen to the other, effectively doubling the amount of
viewable work space.
To use extended desktop mode, perform the steps in the following section
that corresponds to the operating system your computer is using.
