SECTION 1
Lesson 1.3: Viewing Your Files

   

 

 

You can also tell Word to arrange your open documents so you can see them all on the screen. Just click the Window menu and click Arrange All, like in the sample below.

 

How your documents are arranged depends on how many you have open. Here’s a sample of two documents after clicking the Arrange All command:

 

You will be able to see how both documents are still open in the taskbar, but they’re arranged so that you can view them both at the same time. (You must have at least two documents open for the Arrange All command to have any effect.)

 

Here’s how four documents would look:

 

 

Again, you can see that they are all open in the taskbar at the bottom, but they are arranged in such a way that you can see all four documents. Remember that you can bring focus to a document by clicking on it in the taskbar, by clicking in its editing window, or by clicking the Window menu and clicking that document.

 

If you are in this view, you can work with each window (minimize, maximize, move, or resize it) separately. Once you’re done viewing the windows this way, you must maximize each document; there is no “un-arrange” command.
