Working with document windows
Each document you open appears in its own window. You can work
with Canvas document windows the same as other windows. You
can resize a window, expand it to fill the screen, and minimize or roll
it up. Canvas provides commands to organize and select document
windows when more than one is open.
Selecting among open documents
When you open several documents at once, only one is active. The
Window menu displays the names of open Canvas documents. The
name of the active document has a check mark.
To change the active window: Choose the documents name
in the list at the bottom of the Window menu. You can also click a
documents window to make the document active.
When you open more than one document, information in the Status
bar, such as the pointers location, applies to the active document.
The same is true of floating palettes; palette settings apply to the
active document and they change when you switch documents.
Arranging windows
When you open more than one document window, you can stack or
distribute them on screen so they are easier to work with.
When Canvas arranges document windows, it resizes them if neces-
sary so they fit within the main program window or screen area.
To arrange windows in rows: Choose Window > Tile Down.
To arrange windows in columns: Choose Window > Tile
Across.
To arrange windows in a grid (Mac only): Choose Window >
Tile.
To stack all windows: Choose Window > Stack.
To arrange icons of minimized windows (Windows only):
Choose Window > Arrange Icons.
