 Computer Settings:
Windows 7 x64

Current Settings for Window Snapping:
Aero Snap (Windows 7-style window snapping)
Use Aero Snap Preview is checked
Disabled the native Aero Snap in Window 7 is disabled.

When I am using Office 2010 (Word, Excel, Outlook) the snapping feature does not work.

Scenario 1) When the window is maximized I am not able to drag it to any other monitor without restoring it first and then maximizing it on the other window. I am able to do this with other applications and it makes it much easier to work with.

Scenario 2) When the window is not maximized and I try to drag it to a "snap" location it does not snap and I have to maximized the window manually.

Great product and great work on the beta!

 Dear Jeff,

According your settings you are using native Windows 7 Aero Snap feature.  To use AWM AeroSnap feature you should enable the Disable the native Aero Snap in Windows 7 option.

 Thank you for the reply.

I wrote it incorrectly in the first post. I do have a check on the Disable the native Aero Snap in Windows 7.

Thank you!

 I can verify this is a problem.  My settings are exactly the same as Jeff's.

Computer Settings:
Windows 7 x64

Current Settings for Window Snapping:
Aero Snap (Windows 7-style window snapping)
Use Aero Snap Preview: True
Disabled the native Aero Snap in Window 7: True

Office 2010 doesn't respond to any mouse snapping.

This added "between monitor" snapping is awesome by the way.  It will be perfect when the snap preview is able to use Aero Glass like the native snapping feature.

 Thank you!

The problem is pretty much fixed all the way. However, inside of Outlook the messages still do not have the ability to snap. If you are creating a new message it does work.

Thank you again!

 Yes.  It's working for me now.

However, this is one feature where Windows 7's implementation seems snappier. :)  The only thing I lose by not using AWM is the ability to snap between monitors. I just don't find myself using it.
