I only have one monitor, but there is one type of circumstance for which this causes me some issues. If I am on a conference call that includes WebEx/Lync/other desktop sharing tools and am attempting to document what is being shown on the screen in Microsoft Word/Microsoft Visio in real time, I cannot switch back and forth from what is being shown to the application in which I am attempting to document it.

Why would a tech writer need two monitors?
