Work with additional windows
You can open additional windows for the same document or for other InDesign documents. With additional windows, you can compare different spreads simultaneously, especially spreads that aren’t adjacent. You can also display different magnifications of the same page, so that you can work closely on details while watching how the changes affect the overall layout. In addition, you can display a master page in one window, and pages based on it in other windows, to see how editing the master page affects various parts of the document.
When you reopen the document, only the last-used window appears.
- To create a new window for the same document, choose Window > Arrange > New Window.
- To cascade or tile windows, choose Window > Arrange > Cascade to arrange all windows into a stack, with each window offset slightly. Or, choose Window > Arrange > Tile Horizontally or Tile Vertically to display all windows equally without overlapping.
- To activate a window, click the window title bar. Or, choose the name of the view in the Window menu. Multiple windows for a document are numbered in the order they were created.
- To close all windows for the active document, press Shift+Ctrl+W (Windows) or Shift+Command+W (Mac OS).
- To close all windows for all open documents, press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+W (Windows) or Shift+Command+Option+W (Mac OS).
