How can I view 2 active windows within a program simultaneously?

Using Windows programs on a PC, I could often use the "Window" menu to access the commands (something like) "Tile Vertical" or "Tile Horizontal" to view 2 active windows within a program on the screen simultaneously with a click or 2 of the mouse. I am finding that with a Mac I must manually resize and position 2 active windows to view them simultaneously. Am I missing something or is the manual method my only option? Thank you so much for any suggestions.

Yes, it's the only built-in option. There are several third-party window managers that provide the type of functionality you are looking for. You can find them at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate. For example,
Window Tiles
FlexiGlass
There are others with varying types of features and options.

  • How can I view the Locals Window?

    Hello -
    I don't seem to have the option of viewing locals or watch windows.  When I click on view -> Other Windows, the only options are Web Browser Find Results 1 and Find Results 2.  If I click on debug -> Windows, the only option is Breakpoints.
    Please suggest!
    Juniormint

    Hello,
    If I understand correctly, you want to display the Locals window when using Transact-SQL debugger. You must be in debug mode to display the local window: In the SSMS, click Debug -> start Debugging; To access the Locals window, click Windows on Debug
    menu , and then click Locals. Please refer to the following screen shot:
    If I have any misunderstanding, please let me know.

  • How can I minimize all image windows within photoshop?

    Hi all,
    First post on the forum. I'm using CS3 on win XP.
    I'm creating a massive montage of over 60 images, I want to import the lot & minimise them all.
    60 individual mimimizes are a pain.
    Can I minimise them all ?
    Thanks
    Daryl

    "put them in a folder and point the processor at that folder."
    OR
    COPY them TO a folder and point the processor at that folder.

  • How can I render an active link (yrl) within a UIX/XML page

    How can I render an active link (url) within a UIX/XML page.
    How can I get <jbo:ShowValue> to work in UIX/XML, or is there another way?
    Bill G...

    It may seem strange, but the <contents> of <rawText> aren't actually
    raw - it's only the "text" attribute that's raw. (It seems strange because
    it is. Ah well.) This is different from UIX JSP.
    So, try something like the following:
    <bc4j:attrScope name="Notes">
    <contents>
    <rawText text="&lt;a href=&quot;"/>
    <rawText>
    <boundAttribute name="text">
    <bc4j:attrProperty name="value"/>
    </boundAttribute>
    </rawText text="&quot;&gt;"/>
    Some text in the link.
    <rawText text="&lt;/a&gt;"/>
    </contents>
    <bc4j:attrScope>
    Thankfully, this will be much simpler in 9.0.3, when the following
    will work:
    <link text="Whatever you want">
    <boundAttribute name="destination">
    <bc4j:attrValue name="Notes"/>
    </boundAttribute>
    </link>

  • In iTunes 11 how can I view a playlist in a separate (new) window?

    In iTunes 11 how can I view a playlist in a separate (new) window? I always did this by double-clicking the playlist. That doesn't work now!

    found it - at least this is part of a solution -
    http://www.betalogue.com/2012/12/04/itunes-11-edit-playlist-to-work-around-the-s ingle-window-limitation/
    while the discussion in the link (here in this reply) does not tell us how to open a new window - it does tell us how to view any particular playlist and the entire library list at the same time in a split-window view - but there still does not appear to be a way to open two playlists at the same time.?

  • How can I view photos I downloaded 2-3 years ago and which suddenly seem to have disappeared. Only photos taken within the past 12 months are visible.

    How can I view photos I downloaded 2-3 years ago and which suddenly seem to have disappeared. Only photos taken within the past 12 months are visible.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto. Version 8.1.2
    - What version of the Operating System. OSX 10.9.4
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    When I open iPhoto, only the most recent photos are shown (last 12 months)
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages? This has been going on for several weeks now. There are no error messages, but yes, I had an update in the system (QuarkXPress 10.1), and the problem has occurred from that day.
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue. I tried to find out where the problem came from, but found no solution.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto? No
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
    Thank you so much for offering help. I am not a proficient user of the system.

    How can I create a sub-folder within my "Documents" folder? I have many similar documents that I want to group together. This will also un-clutter my Documents folder.

    Also, you can add a New Folder button to the Finder's toolbar by opening Finder, going to the View menu in the menubar, selecting Customize Toolbar..., and dragging the New Folder icon to the toolbar in the Finder window. Then it's just one-click for new folders wherever you want them.

  • How can I have two different windows up on one screen at the same time?

    How can I have to different windows open on my screen at one time? Kind of like a split or shared screen.

    If you want this split screen thingy for a single app, do like captfred suggests or see if the app itself supports some sort of splitting, like MS Excel.
    If you want to do this system-wide, maybe you can get what you want by activating and using Spaces: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4313
