Arranging windows
When you open more than one document window, you can stack or distribute them on screen so they
are easier to work with.
When Canvas arranges document windows, it resizes them if necessary so they fit within the main
program window or screen area.
To arrange windows in rows:
Choose Window | Tile Down.
To arrange windows in columns:
Choose Window | Tile Across.
To stack all windows:
Choose Window | Stack.
To arrange icons of minimized windows:
Choose Window | Arrange Icons.

With the Properties command, you can view the properties of documents. You can view standard data
and add your own meta data to a document.
To view or edit properties:

the following tabs: General, Statistics, Summary, and Custom.
2. Click a tab to display its options. Use the procedures later in this section to edit the options,
where applicable, then click OK to implement the settings.
The document must be saved for some of its properties to be displayed.
