I have Office 365 with Office 2016. I also use the third party utility called Display Fusion. DF has a setting to allow the cursor focus to follow the cursor from monitor to monitor and so that scrolling can be accomplished on the monitor where the cursor is without having to first establish focus. It is very handy and one also gets used to it without thinking about it. Every program that I have installed works with this feature, including Quickbooks, Quicken, my browser and all of the Office 2016 programs (are they called apps now) including Outlook, Word, and One Note. But the only program/app that maintains the focus when the cursor is moved to another monitor is Excel 2016; out of habit I move the cursor to another monitor and begin scrolling, but the Excel spreadsheet displayed on the first monitor is where the scrolling occurs. I have to first click on the second monitor display to move the focus to the second monitor, which I realize that is what most people have to do that don't have the cursor focus utility, or at least that is what I think is what is normal behavior. Is there something about Excel that functions differently than the other Office 2016 and/or is there a built in way to accomplish this desired behavior either in Windows 10 or in Office 2016? I hope I have described this issue well enough that someone out there will have a clue and offer to me a solution or further knowledge.
My machine is a Dell XPS8700 with Windows 10 Home 64bit fully updated and with 12GB of Ram and an Intel Core i7 processor in a three monitor setup (the reason for using Display Fusion as it allows for multiple and changing wallpapers unique to each monitor) and a subscription to Office 365 and Office 2016 if all of that might help track down the issue. Thanks to anyone that sees this and thinks that they might have an idea or two.
