fected by these commands.
To arrange windows:
 Choose Window > Arrange and select one of the
following:

on the screen.

horizontally tiled pattern on the screen. This option
is not available if there are too many windows
open.

cally tiled pattern, side by side, on the screen. This
option is not available if there are too many win-
dows open.
Cascade Arranges all open windows in cascading
pattern on the screen.

Windows
.
