[Magdalen] Windows 10 help?

[Grace Cangialosi]

Thanks. Ann! I need to do some more exploring. I discovered that I could open as many Word docs as I wanted and move them around on the screen as I used to do. The problem seems to be with Excel docs--I cannot get more than one of them up at a time. But I haven't given up!
Thanks!
