Working with multiple documents > Arranging documents on the screen

If you have multiple documents open, you can arrange them as follows:

▪The document tabs (the tabs in the bar above the document) can be moved within the bar and thus arranged in any order.

You can even drag a document tab out of the program window with the mouse in order to have a separate program window for this document.

Alternatively, you can drag a document tab from one program window to another. The document will then be integrated into the tab bar of the other program window.

▪If documents are open in different program windows, you can move the individual program windows manually and resize them, of course – just as you can with all types of program windows.

▪If you choose the ribbon command View | group Side by side | View side by side (in the classic menu interface: Window > View side by side), you can display the current document side by side with another open document on the screen. If more than two documents are currently open, the program first asks which of them is to be used in the other window.

After you enabled the function View side by side, you can scroll synchronously through both documents. For more informations, see Viewing documents side by side.
