Multiple Word windows opening.

Why do I get multiple Microsoft word windows when I create a printed document?
When I generate a printed document to word, multiple screens open andneed to be closed, To view my document, I return to robohelp and click View..

As in my other reply, we need to know more about what you are using. In this case it may also help to know what version of Word you are using.
Also what is displaying in the windows that are not being closed by RoboHelp? Are there any dialog messages or warnings.

Having multiple query windows open at once.

I wasn't sure how to phrase it so after some digging I'm resorting to asking on here.
I've been working out of the 'Joes2Pros' series and I work within SMMS with SQL standard installed locally for playing.
Most of the time I like to have multiple query windows open to save queries to reference later just for examples.
My question is that is there a way to ensure a query window is not using any databases so that when I run the lab setup scripts for Joes2Pros I don't encounter any errors without having to close my other query windows?
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

You can accomplish this multiple ways:
1. Have your windows open with the database context set to master (select master DB in the dropdown on the toolbar)
2. "USE master; go" statement as the first line in all your query windows
3. Before you run your setup scripts, issue a kill command to terminate all other query window sessions (this will still keep the query windows open but they won't be connected to any database)

If I have multiple browser windows open (not tabs, windows) and I close 1 of them, why do ALL browser windows close?

If I have multiple browser windows open (not tabs, windows) and I close 1 of them, why do ALL browser windows close?

How are you closing the window?
Are you using the File menu or the close X on the title bar?
Use Alt + F to open the File menu with the Close Tab entry visible (doesn't work with the mouse).

In 4.0.1, if I have multiple firefox windows open, when I try to close one window, it closes all. Why can't I close just one window at a time?

I open multiple Firefox windows so that I can quickly Alt+Tab between windows instead of using my mouse to point to tabs. When I close one of my Firefox windows, the browser closes all my windows. What happen to the "Close" feature under the File tab? Why don't I have the option to close only one window at a time?

I don't understand what happened above, but ericn1, wasn't your problem that you tried to close one browser window using the red X, and ALL of them closed? How did any of the above help you solve your problem? jscher2000 gave you alternate methods of closing windows but said that closing a window with the red X "should" work. It doesn't work, because it is closing ALL your windows, not just the one you are clicking on. I am now having the same problem. with Firefox.
Understand I do not have the problem with any other program. In other words, I can open multiple windows in Paint Shop Pro, IE, Notepad, etc. and close one with the red X and all others remain open. It ONLY happens when using the Firefox browser.
The red X should close only the window that you are in when you click on it.
NOW, before someone suggests tabs, I don't like them and don't use them. My choice. Before someone says my browser is out-of-date, (3.6.13) I am using it because it was the last version that worked reliably on my computers, both at home (Windows 7 Professional) and my office (Windows XP Professional).
When I updated to the last Firefox browser, both computers started seizing up (nothing worked and had to reboot using power button) Removing that version of Firefox and going back to this version solved that problem. Fact remains, version has little to do with this problem. I've seen other posts around the net about this with different (newer) versions of Firefox.
So . . . does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve using keystrokes or hot keys to close windows instead of the red X that should work properly?

When I have multiple browser windows open - but in the "minimized" mode - and I want to open up one of them for viewing, ALL of the windows automatically open as well. How do I prevent this annoying function. I cannot find it anywhere in the options.

This does not appear to be a system issue, but rather a functional aspect of the browser windows. E.g., if I have 7 browser windows open to different sites... and all are Minimized, and I decide to open one to study, THEY ALL POP OPEN automatically. I am using Firefox v3.6.8 on Windows 7. This is an annoying behavior of the browser, and I am sure it can be somehow "turned off" but cannot determine how to do that. I have looked through all options. I am not a techie, but have reasonable proficiency with software apps.

This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

Multiple new windows opens when I click on any folder in Administrator (user account) folder.

Whenever, I try to open any folder or sub-folder in my Administrator account, it automatically opens new multiple
windows with same folder.
For example, I tried to open a folder in my "Downloads" it automatically opened 2 new windows with same folder contents.
What should I do to open it in the same window?
Is there any way to repair this annoying problem...
Somebody please help!

Hi,
If the above setting
arnavsharma provided is configured properly, please try following things:
Open up Registry Editor, and go to:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-1000\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Delete "Explorer". It will be re-created.
Reboot to see what's going on.

Multiple Mail Windows open in 10.6.4?

After upgrading to 10.6.4, when I click any "mail" icon (alias or application), it always opens multiple windows (3 to be exact) of mail. There's no reason for me to ever need to do this. Here's a link to the screenshot to show you:

Somebody please help if you know why this happens!
Thanks in Advance

I have this same issue. Plus, I can't get rid of a draft message that appears in both my draft and out boxes...? I use Gmail and have deleted this "phantom" message from the web page prior to opening Mac Mail and still the same happens.

TS3274 I have multiple safari windows open, how do I close them 1 at a time?

Does anyone no how to accomplish closing safarie window 1 at a time or even all at once?

If you have iOS 5+ with the tabbed browsing then you can close the 'active' tab by tapping the 'x' on the left of the tab (you can't close the last tab).
If you have iOS 4 or below then tap the icon of the two squares to open the thumbnail/page view and you can close them from there

Firefox 4.01 with multiple tabs/windows open will close with the following dialoog boxes appearing, one for each window, evidently, "invalid preferences extensions.bprivacy.timer check that is listed in defaults/prefs.js"

The cause of the need to revert to the last known good operating condition was trying to download a file from a Yahoo discussion group. The download froze the machine. When Firefox was restarted, it froze on loading, at first step of loading multiple windows and tabs. Many reboots to the same frozen state led to revert to the last restore point. That produced equivalent results on startup of Firefox, the option of F8 and revert to last known good operating condition was done. Everything seemingly operate OK, with the exception of the pop-up dialog boxes on shutdown of Firefox .
Began Thursday 5/26/11
I know locations and dates of all files "prefs.js" but don't know what to do with them, if anything.

I removed add-on BetterPrivacy. No problems since then anymore.

Ubuntu 10.11 through 10.04. Installed Flash-Aid 2.2.1. If multiple Firefox windows open any attempt to shut a one window, extinguish all windows. But they stay in the background to work invisible.

''After installed ubuntu 10.11 through 10.04, whenever you try to close a window of Firefox, they close all that were open, but only become invisible and continue to work somewhere in the background. If you see a pop-up as the new window and if I want to close it on an simple button "X" then they are all close.
After killing over Terminal and restarts a firefox window, re-engage all windows that have been worked in the background but they are now visible. And again it is impossible to kill only one windows. Help !!!!!!!!

In case anyone reads this, I managed to burn my CD by changing the speed of the burn in iTunes. It was set on Maximum possible and I noticed from the CD Diagnostic report (see previous article) that the speed of the drive was listed as 16, but the burn had failed at 24x, so I reduced it to 12 to be safe, and it worked. It plays okay in the car but I have noticed that when I restart the player, it doesn't seem to recognise the CD and ejects it so that I have to push it back in, and it then starts at track 1 again. Not sure if this is to do with the way it was burned, but at least its playing the tracks!

I want multiple Firefox windows open w/different View settings - toolbars displayed in one, not in other. With the new version, I can no longer do that ?

I want to remove the toolbars in one open instance of Firefox but not in others.......this was possible in the prior version. Now if I change the settings in one instance, it automatically changes in the other open Firefox windows. How I can I make this work as it did before the upgrade? Thanks, Kris

Thanks a million! It was not intuitive to "swipe" the open applications up but it works perfectly!!
Thank you

How do I open multiple PDF windows on microsoft Surface?

How do I open multiple windows on microsoft Surface? I'm a grad student and would like to have multiple PDF windows open or availible while I use Microsoft Word. Is this possible?

Other user asked a similar question a couple days ago - except the question was in French and the other app was Microsoft Excel (not Word).
Please see the option (b) for running two apps side by side in this post.

It may not be an ideal solution for you. But this may be the only option you have if your device is running the Windows RT operating system. You can install Adobe Reader XI (desktop app) if your device is running the Windows 8 operating system.

Open multiple playlist windows?

It doesn't seem that I can open multiple playlist windows in version 11. I'm a massage therapist and broadcast, via the Griffin Rocket, my music to all the radios in the house. I chose different playlists for different clients and need to switch playlists for different clients which I could do easily by having multiple iTunes windows open.
Now I can't? I just used to click on the playlist icon, and a new iTunes window would open.

There is one way that I have found to open up two windows - but only two windows, and it's extremely limited functionality.
In the iTunes "Window" menu, just check "Mini Player" (if you're currently in the full iTunes window) or check "iTunes" if you're currently in the miniplayer. Do NOT click "Switch to MiniPlayer"
That opens up second window, so you have both the full window and the miniplayer open. Which still stinks, but you can use the "search" tool in the miniplayer to at least partially browse around and minipulate music (using the pop up menus) while referring to playlists etc. in the main window.
Very dissatisfying, but at least it's something.

Multiple Composition windows in AE CC 2014.1 ??

What happened with the possibiltiy to have multiple composition windows open at the same time? Am I just blinded by the sharp blue color or is it actually gone..?
If so please put it back asap!!
If I right click on the composition window tab you could get a "New window" option but it's not there anymore.

I think that you're misremembering. It wasn't under the right-click context menu; it was under the menu that appears when you click the composition name itself in the panel tab. It's still there. All that has changed is that the active area for opening that menu is just the composition name, not the whole tab.

Multiple quicktime windows in Vista

I just installed QuickTime Pro on my Vista 32-bit machine and I need to trim & export multiple movies from one .mov file.
On my MAC I can have multiple QT windows open and saving at the same time. On Vista it only allows one operation at a time. Is there a way to make Vista behave like Mac where I can save multiple movies at one time?
Thanks
Michael

No.
Concurrent exports are a "Mac only" feature of QuickTime pro.
