If you are comparing two files make sure they have different names. I minimize the first one opened, until I open the second. Then sizs then the way I want them (I have a large screen so like them side by side.) The tool bar at the top of the program is used to operate BOTH screens, One at a Time. Remember when you have two screens open, that you have to highlight the one you want to use by clicking anywhere on that screen. If you close from the tool bar, both screens close. To close only one, use the x at the right top of that screen. Bea --- On Thu, 1/27/11, B.H. Kemp <bkgenea@yahoo.com> wrote: > From: B.H.
