Disconnecting Cinema Display Leaves Windows Stranded on Laptop

Question

Dear All,
I use a 17" PowerBook with a newly purchased 20" Cinema Display in dual screen (non-mirroring mode) at work and just the laptop at home. The CInema Display is set as the primary monitor.
Using Excel in dual screen mode before leaving work on Thursday, I had a spreadsheet open on the laptop (secondary) screen. I disconnected everything and went home. Now, with only the laptop, that spreadsheet is inaccessible. It's open and, by using Expose I can see it, but when I pick it, it just slides off the screen.
Is there any way to get it back?
I'm figuring when I get to work I'll be able to get it. And I also assume that I should have probably gone through a "detect displays" sequence after disconnecting (although that's not working now). Maybe using the laptop as the primary display is the secret as well. However, it would be nice to be able to get it now.
Incidentally, I do not find Apple's dual screen setup very elegant. Having the main menu only at the top of the primary screen means a lot of mouse movement when using the secondary screen. In addition, when I use right click menus on some secondary screen programs, they appear on the primary screen.
Thanks for the help... Jim
PS - For those who saw my post on another forum about a window too large to access, it is not related to the dual screen. It is running on a different system without the dual screen although I tried using the larger dual screen to acces it (unsuccessfully).

Answer 1

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and run the following:
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
set bounds of window 1 to {61, 95, 465, 313}
end tell
Insert the application's name in the first line inside the quote marks, press the Run button, and then resize the window. Close all open documents in Excel which you can see. This script may not work for all applications.
