✓ Display a master page in one window and a document page based
on that master page in another window. When you change the master
page, the change is reflected in the window in which the associated
document page is displayed.
Document windows are by default accessed through a set of tabs below the
Control panel, though as I explain later, you can also work with them as a
series of free-floating windows.
When multiple windows are open, you activate a window by clicking on a
window’s title tab or anywhere within its window. Also, the names of all open
documents are displayed at the bottom of the Window menu. Choosing a
document name from the Window menu brings that document to the front.
If multiple windows are open for a particular document, each window is
displayed (they’re displayed in the order in which you created them) in the
Window menu.
To show multiple windows on-screen at once, first make them free-floating by
choosing Window➪Float All in Window. Then choose either
✓ Window➪Arrange➪Tile
When you choose the Tile command, all open windows are resized and
displayed side by side.
✓ Window➪Arrange➪Cascade
When you choose the Cascade command, the windows overlap each
other so that each title bar is visible.
You can also use one of the window-layout options in the Arrange Documents
pop-up menu’s options in the application bar. How they display will depend
on the option you chose.
To put all these windows back into their regular tabs so that only one docu-
ment window is visible on-screen at a time, choose Window➪Arrange➪
Consolidate All Windows or choose the Consolidate All Windows option (the
single-window icon) in the Arrange Documents pop-up menu in the applica-
tion bar.
To close all windows for the currently displayed document, press Shift+Ô+W
or Ctrl+Shift+W. To close all windows for all open documents, press
Option+Shift+Ô+W or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+W.
Not only do you get separate document windows for each open docu-
ment, but you can also create multiple windows for an individual docu-
ment so that you can see different parts of it at the same time. To open
a new window for the active document, choose Window➪Arrange➪New
Window (or use the New Window option in the new Arrange Documents
pop-up menu in the application bar). The new window is displayed in its
