We all only have one monitor. However, I suggest going with two monitors instead of one. Even if you can't have two instances of TMS open at the same time, I seem to always be using other programs while in TMS. I would use one monitor for TMS and the other monitor for whatever else I need to be doing at the same time, i.e. MS Office, email, thesaurus, package manager, etc. On Fri, Feb 5, 2016 at 7:32 PM, Chad Petrovay <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > TMS will not allow you to have two windows, or two instances of TMS opened > simultaneously. > > Joe is correct that you can remote into another machine, but that would > use two concurrent licenses. > > You can however open up the Thesaurus manager (from the start menu, not > from the thesxref control) and use it to drag and drop terms into TMS, > which is nice if you are applying terms to multiple records, or adjacent > terms to a series of records. > > You can also use the Package manager, in a separate window.
