There have been some good replies to this already, but this point caught
my attention:
"It is frustrating to be online, say checking census on a newly found
person in your line, and see a familiar name as you go down the page,
and have to either write it down just in case you don't have it or
minimize the page and go into Legacy to the person's events to see if it
is there."
It is not necessary to minimise a window to go to another program,
though it is one way to achieve the result.
An alternative is to click on the wanted program/window in the menu bar
(which I keep at the bottom of my screen, though it can be moved to
other edges).
Or, use your keyboard to switch between the open windows by holding down
the <Alt> key and pressing <Tab> as many times as it takes to reach the
one you want. Use your left hand, put your thumb on <Alt> to hold it
down, and tap <Tab> with the index or middle finger. To go the "other"
way (very useful if you're tapping away and go past the one you want),
hold down <Shift> as well.
You can have many programs and windows open at once. The limiting
factors are the amount of memory in your computer, and the amount of
free space on your hard drive that can be utilised. I often have
several open - right this minute I've got Legacy, two OpenOffice
documents, a folder in My Documents, Firefox, Google Talk, and
Thunderbird with 7 separate emails open in their own windows, and
quickly flick through them to get to the one I need next using the
keyboard, and that's pretty typical for me on any given day.
Hope this helps. :-)
Kind Regards,
Wendy Howard
