[john w .++++++++]

hi

am not able to open two word documents at the same time on the desk top (ie
to read one and add bits to another that is opened).

can open one, then if go to open another it opens bang on top and cannot be
moved aside.

anyone able to offer advice please

many thanks john west

many thanks for your response. the windows documents when opened are not
maximized and their size can be altered. but when i go to open another
windows document it sits directly on top of the previous opened one, exactly
the same size. and when the top one is moved the one underneath travels with
it and remains hidden.

this problem is limited only to word documents since other displays will sit
happily alongside each other on the desktop.

if the top word document is closed the one underneath disappears also. i
really do
need to have two different word document opened at the same time.

any ideas please?

thanks john west

As you have no doubt gathered, this is *not* normal, so I haven't a clue
what might be going on.
