Opening multiple windows per file | 25
Opening multiple windows per file
You can open more than one window per file. This allows you to view the same
layout in separate windows, or simultaneously view different layouts in the
same file. You can perform find or sort operations independently in the
different windows.
To open an additional window, choose Window menu > New Window. Another
window appears. Initially, the window displays the same layout, sort order, and
found set as the previously active window.
To view a different layout in the new window, choose a layout from the Layout
pop-up menu in the layout bar, or choose View menu > Go to Layout. For
information on finding records, see
“Finding records” on page 40. For
information on sorting records, see “Sorting records” on page 58. For more
information about opening multiple windows, see Help.
