Arranging Document Windows

Summary: Got a bunch of document windows cluttering up your screen? Make them nice and tidy by using the tools that Word provides for keeping them in line. This tip explains the easiest way to make your document windows just the way you want. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

If you have more than one document open at a time, Word allows you to view all the documents at the same time, and to arrange each document window as you desire. The easiest method of arranging document windows is as follows:

  1. Choose Arrange All from the Window menu. This divides the screen space evenly between all your windows. The main benefit is that all your document windows get at least a piece of the screen.
  2. Click on the window whose size you wish to adjust. It becomes active.
  3. Move the mouse cursor near the border of the active window. When the cursor turns into a set of arrows, press the mouse button and drag the window edge to the desired size. Release the mouse button.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each window you want to adjust.

Tip #1152 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
