Abstract
Methods and systems for optimizing the display and selection of document windows for word processing and desktop publishing in a multiple document interface. Pairs of document windows can be displayed side by side (or above and below) each other according to user preferences and without regard to the number or type of documents that have been opened. The system enables users to work with the same or different views of different documents or with different views of the same document in a highly intuitive and convenient manner.
