Changing from Two Screens to One

Changing from Two Screens to One

Changing from Two Screens to One

(OP)
I normally run AutoCad on a pair of screens and when I hit Format>Layer, the layer menu shows up on screen 2.  This week I'm in a Hotel room and only have one screen.  Is there any way to get the format layer to show up on my one screen?

After invoking the Layer command, hit Alt+Space+M, then use the arrow keys to navigate the dialog box on screen.

If you're running 2007 or later, another option once you get back to the office is to make a 2 screen workspace, and a 1 screen workspace. Then you can just switch to the 1 screen workspace when out and about.

Running 2006, and haven't seen a reason to pay the big bucks again.
