2 open Windows of same document

I remember reading somewhere that two windows could be opened for the same document allowing one to be worked on while zoomed in and the 2nd would update to show the changes.
How do I open two windows of the same document?
This is a neat trick as it allows document to be worked on without continually zooming in and zooming out to see how it all looks.

Andrei, that's the ticket! I scanned through all the tool bar menus, or at least I thought I did and missed it ... I'd read about this tip in Photoshop User and just couldn't bear slogging through who knows how many issues to find it again!
Thanks for the help!

New window with same document

I'm considering switching from Excel to Numbers, and looking at the functions I use the most.
In Excel I often have 2 windows open with the same document (one with my income, and one with my expenses for instance). Are you able to open a new window of the same document in Numbers?

I agree, but this thread was/is about opening multiple windows onto a single document. I contend that, where using multi-window viewing makes sense, so might a less monolithic arrangement of several tables, perhaps across a couple of sheets.
There are at least two reasons for a large table in Numbers:
(1) The table is designed with an Excel mindset (or imported from Excel) where there isn't this particular degree of freedom of many separate tables. When I see questions about multi-window or split screen viewing, often at the heart of the matter is Excel mindset. In Excel it is common to create separate "zones" within a larger spreadsheet. This practice can create spreadsheets covering vast numbers of cells. In Numbers, these zones would better occupy separate tables, and not just because of the visibility issue. Separate tables resize more naturally, a problem in Excel when resizing one zone disrupts another.
(2) The table contains a lot of data of the same form (sharing the same headers). I think Numbers could use some work in handling this case. At minimum, while a table is active, the table headers and footers could be "pinned" to the window while scrolling as the column labels: A,B,C,.. and row labels 1,2,3,... are currently.

Close all open windows at same time

Is there any way to close all open programs at once, rather than having to do them one at a time?

I don't know of a way to close all open apps at the same time, but i do know of a way to close all open windows in a particular app at one time, ie: safari
Hold down Option when you click on the red close button at the top of one of those windows, and it will close all windows *for that app*...but doing so doesn't necessarily quit the app.
The only other thing i can think of you can do is hold down Command, Option, and Esc to get the Force Quit window to open, (or access it from the Apple menu at the top left corner) and then you can select one at a time all the apps and force quit them individually...it's still quicker than switching between each app individually..

Prevent user to open window with same session

Hi all,
I have a requirement to prevent user from opening a new window of same session, either by right click, middle click or any other method.
Can anyone tell me how can i use session state to find that new window of same session is opened, and if yes, i can give an alert message that 'Only one window is allowed at a atime for a user'. Thanks alot.
With Regards,

You can enable the checksum feature in the Application Security attributes to prevent users.That would be closest you can acheive towards your requirement.
<li>However you try and prevent users from creating a new page, they can always use their browser features to duplicate a page ,and this works even with a checksum in the URL
For example in firefox, place your cursor in the URL bar and press {CTRL} + {ENTER} , it duplicates a page.
<li>Now, assuming that they did this, how do you identify which page is valid, For apex either page sents a request only and it doesn't know what happens at the client side. Remember apex session details are stored at the server side only.

Howto force firefox to open windows in same place

Is there a way to force firefox to open ANY new window in a fixed spot or even on a monitor in multimonitor setups and NOT offset from the last window closed? Its anoying to have to hunt around to find where the window popped up...
Example: i have a browserwindow on the second monitor that just now sowing a fullscreen movie(or somting) and another on the main monitor.. i need a new window..ctrl+n... hmmm no window... presses ctrl+n again... still no... oh wait... minimizes movie... Hey presto there they are open on the second monitor, as it was there i closed the last browser window...and ff remember this position... AND OPEN NEW WINDOWS THERE.... argh!
/rant off

Firefox does not have a built-in setting to open all links in a new window. Normally, you would need to hold down the Shift key when clicking the link (Shift+click) or use right-click > Open Link in New Window.
You may be able to find an add-on that adds this feature. I know there are various add-ons to open links in a ''new tab'', but I don't know about a new window.
If the problem is particular to Google search results, there is a setting in Google itself to switch the links from same window to new window. That can be found on the search preferences page:
https://www.google.com/preferences#nwc
This preference is saved in a cookie, so if you clear cookies often, then you would need to revisit that page often.

How do i get firefox to open with the same window size every time, even if the last instance I had open had a different window size because I resized it??

My firefox opens new windows with a size that equals the current window I have open, or if I have no window open, the last window I closed. I would like to have it open windows the same size every time, regardless of what size the current window is, or what size the last window I closed was. I cannot find a setting or addin to do this anywhere. I have resizer which lets me change the size, but it is annoying that I can't have a default size for windows being opened. I open windows in new windows, not tabs.

Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
*Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
*Ctrl+left click the link
*right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
Open link/bookmark in new window:
* Shift+Enter on the link
* Shift+left click on the link

Illustrator - Can't move guides when 2 windows open on same document

This is a bug report - Adobe, file this thread appropriately.
Tested with Adobe AI CC 2014:
Open a document, create a guide.
Open a second window on that same document. (1 document, 2 views of the same document)
make the second view smaller, optionally, Hide Edges on that view.
Return to the first window. Ctrl+Alt+; (unlock guides)
Choose the selection tool and click the guide: nothing happens (THIS IS A BUG)
Drag a marquee around the guide: guide is selected (OK)
Nudge the guide: the guide moves (OK)
Attempt to move the guide by clicking and dragging: not possible (BUG)
Close the second window
Repeat steps 5 - 9: Everything works as expected.
Tested on Windows 7.
Please fix in an update!
Thank you,
Tom

Tom,
I remember that it was almost impossible to find, so I have archived the URL.
Edit: I just tried to click Search and then type bug report on adobe.com, and it turned up this,
Adobe - Search: bug%20report
so it is possible if you know how to do it already.

Open and edit PDF document simultaneously in two windows

I am currently studying on a very long PDF, about 1600 pages. I have two copies of the same PDF open in full screen, and I use the first (A) to read and highlight, and the second (B) to search for images and references. So if I am on page 200 of A, and it refers to an image on page 270, instead of scrolling 70 pages and losing track of where I was I scroll on B.
That being said, I tend to highlight on both copies, and I would like to have unified highlights and comments. Is there a way to:
a) merge the comments and highlights after I close both files
or
b) instead of having two copies of the same file A and B, open two windows of the same file A and merge modifications

Adobe Reader won't but Acrobat Pro XI can open the same document in two windows and it updates both as you make changes "on the fly"...
The downside? $499.
Acrobat Standard is $299 and I don't know if it can do the "one doc two window" editing.

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

Open multiple occurances of the same document

We are running reader 9.1.1 and need to be able to open multipe occurances of the same document. Yes, I know how to open the same document multiple time with <window><new window> the problem with this is editing a form in one window changes it in all windows. I need to ope independant occurances or the same form. Can this be done? The /n switch will not work for this either! Hope somebody has an idea.

Simple solution, yes. Unfortunatly its not that simple... Having multiple copies of the same document posses issues when updating the document. This doucument is updated almost daily and is distibuted to many users across a network... Having to have users open multiple copies of the document creates many logistical and use issues.

Open PDF in same browser when the preference is set to open in new window.

The corporate policy for all applications is to open the PDF document in new browser/reader but our application needs the reader to open in the same browser even the preference "Display PDF in Browser" is unchecked.... The setPreference from javascript (html) doesn't seemed to work... How do i make this work?
Also, I need the links the browser to open in new browser once the PDF is loaded... do I need to reset the preference once it is loaded for the links to open in new browser?
thanks,
- Ray

There is no way to override that from your application. And if the Links in the PDF have an explicit "open in new window" setting, that is respected over the preference.

If I open the same document with two different apps on my iPhone does the document get saved twice?

For example, I chose to open a .pdf document I received as an attachment with Adobe Reader or iBooks, and now the document is available anytime I open Adobe Reader or iBooks. My question is if these applications are able to open the document anytime they want then the document must be available somewhere on the device, where do they get saved? And do they get saved twice if I opened the same document once with iBooks and once with Adobe Reader?

Adobe Reader 9 IE 7 Opens PDF in same window

That's basically my problem. When using internet explorer 7, if I try to click on a PDF link the PDF is opened in the same window as the page I am on. I have the website link target set to blank, so I am not sure what the problem is.
When I click on a PDF link a new window pops open, I click 'Open' on the download prompt box, but then it goes back to the original window and opens on top of the original window.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat

I have some of the same problem

works fine with Windows XP on my 32 bit
computer.

Can Pages display two windows of the same document?

Can Pages display two open windows of the same document? In editing my book and looking for duplications of stories or material, it would be very helpful to see side-by-side windows. Is this possible?

Peggy
They must have misread your:
"Please may I have multiple views of the same document."
as
"Please delete 90 features from Pages and mangle any old documents it opens."
An easy mistake anybody could make.
