maximizing a window across dual monitors

Hey everybody, i'm looking to you guys as my savior =)

I work at a construction office and we use a product called a digitizer. It's like a big wacom tablet with a mouse. It's used to make precise measurements on blueprints so we can bid different jobs with a perfect price. We just recently upgraded to a dual monitor system, the second monitor being a 32" lcd tv. The software that we have always used with our digitizer works in excel as an add-in. So now, I open up excel and my program..and i maximize it on my 'left' monitor, the tv. but now that the wacom tablet mouse uses "two" monitors, whenever I move the mouse to the right side of the tablet and click (to make a measurement) the mouse winds up being on the right monitor....and clicking clicks out of excel onto the desktop, so it doesn't accept the measurement. Does this make sense?

is there a way to maximize my excel spreadsheet across both monitors..or is this just not going to happen? And if not true, in vista, or with third party software, is there a way to make one "mouse" only work on one monitor instead of both? This way the right side of the wacom doesn't cause the mouse to travel to the second monitor?

Thanks a lot guys. It is a tough situation to explain, i'm sure it's harder to understand.

Have you tired using the "clone desktop feature"?

This will show the excel sheet on both monitors......but will eliminate your problem
