Unable to drag a window to 2nd monitor

[jozi]

imac 2011 O/S Mavericks 10.9.5

Have just purchased a mini display port to VGA adaptor to link a second monitor. Cursor is showing up when I drag it across from imac to 2nd monitor but no document nor window can be dragged across. I've tried re-sizing the document as 2nd monitor is smaller than imac monitor, but no luck. Tool-bar shows up on both monitors and cursor shows up, but cannot drag anything across. Have tried re-booting, still no joy. The mirror setting in "Displays" works on both monitors, just unable to drag a document across.
Any suggestions?

You don't want to mirror you want to extend.

Is that so! And exactly how does one "extend" when there is no extend option in Display?
Well to answer my own question, one way to it is via Mission Control.

I won't be back to a dual displayed Mac until I get to work on Monday.
