Interesting. This worked in 7.5 also. (I thought we were limited to 2 split views in version 7, but 7 also allowed for 6 windows/files at once). And in 7.5, there IS a "WINDOW" pick along the menus at the top (File, Edit, Add, . . . Window, Options, Help). This same WINDOWS menu is where you can pick which file/window is active.
BUT - in version 8 the WINDOW option does not appear in the menus. (I'm "playing" with the STANDARD version of 8, and the DELUXE version of 7.5 - maybe that's the difference??) Thus I can not find a cascade/vertical/horizontal option in version 8 STANDARD. And, if you maximize one of the windows, the ONLY(?) way you can get back to one of the others is to click the itty-bitty RESTORE button that appears in the upper right had corner once you've maximized the window. This is not the RESTORE that is next to the APPLICATION close "X", but instead it is the RESTORE that is just below that (between the "ABOUT" and the WINDOW close "X"). Thus in version 7 you could jump between files by picking WINDOW and then picking the file from the list. In version 8 you need to un-maximize the one you are focused on and then maximize the new one that you want to focus on. Not a big deal, but not quite as fast as the version 7 method. (Plus, as the original poster pointed out - there is no cascade/vertical/horizontal option in version 8 - at least not in the STANDARD version.) Bob On 12/23/2013 19:56, C.G.
