Document windows, such as Map, Layout, and Browser windows, may cascade one on top of another or tile one beside the other when they are in the tabbed state (when they are not docked or floating). When document windows cascade, they overlap and the document on top is visible. When document windows tile, they are next to one another and each window is visible on the screen.
To cascade or tile document windows, right-click on a document window name located on the document tab. Select one of the following from the pop-up menu:
- New Horizontal Tab Group - Displays when document windows cascade. Select to tile windows side-by-side across the screen. Only the selected window is active.
- New Vertical Tab Group - Displays when document windows cascade. Select to tile windows side-by-side down the screen. Only the selected window is active.
- Move To Next Tab Group - Displays when document windows are tiled. Select to overlap windows, so that only the top window is visible. The top-most window is always the active window.
- Hide - Removes the window from view, but keeps it open in MapInfo Pro. To view the window, select it from the Windows list (select the check box beside its name) in the Explorer window.
To view a hidden document window, locate the table (document) name in the Explorer window, right-click on it, and select Activate. You can also double-click on the table (document) name to open it.
The document windows that are currently open are listed in the Explorer window. You may need to scroll down the Explorer window to see the Windows panel and the list of open documents.
