In window Vista, which process allows you to display two documents side by side
By now, I hope you know that Windows XP and Windows Vista are very different from each other.
I'm still using XP, by choice, because of all the negatives I've heard and read about Vista. Now Vista is surpassed by Windows 7. Now we'll see if it's better.
I imagine that Vista users can choose to view documents by "tiles" as is also done in Word, Excel, and other Microsoft product -- a way to display more than one document at a time. When in Vista, click on Start and find the Help item in the menu.
There are two ways:
If you have side by side monitors, vista can drive two monitors at the same time, both with different windows. I am not such a multitasker.
The other way, the way I do it, is to make each window 1/2 the screen (left, right), then put each document in the different windows. The problem here is small print, if you have a large monitor, this is not a problem.
In Windows Vista, the process that allows you to display two documents side by side is called "Snap." Here's how you can use Snap to organize your windows:
1. Open the two documents you want to view side by side.
2. Click and hold the title bar of one of the documents.
3. Drag the window to the left or right edge of the screen until you see a translucent outline filling that half of the screen.
4. Release the window to snap it into place.
5. The remaining window will be displayed on the other half of the screen.
6. To adjust the size of either window, move the divider line that separates them.
By using Snap, you can multitask efficiently and work with multiple documents simultaneously.
