Working with window tabs

WELCOME TO IBM LOTUS NOTES

Working with window tabs
Window tabs make it convenient for you to switch from one open document or application to another in IBMLotus Notes.

About this task

You can specify how Lotus Notes opens window tabs. Every time you open a document or application, a new window tab opens beneath the toolbar (or beneath the main menu bar if the toolbar is hidden.)

In this picture there are four window tabs: one for the Home page, and one each for Pat Wilkins' Inbox, To Do list, and Lotus Notes application.

Follow these steps to work with window tabs and new windows:

To Do this

Close a window tab Click the x in the corner of an active window tab.

Close all window tabs Click File -> Close All Open Window Tabs

Switch window tabs Press CTRL+TAB

Reorder window tabs Drag a selected tab to the desired position on the window bar.

Create a bookmark Drag a window tab to the Bookmark bar or Bookmark list.

Open the currently selected document, bookmark, or Lotus Notes application in a new Lotus Notes window Right-click the document or application's window tab and choose Open in New Window.
Note: The Save Window State command saves open window tabs in the current Lotus Notes window only -- it does not save them in other Lotus Notes windows open at the same time.

Working with grouped window tabs

You can set a user preference so that window tabs are opened in groups, instead of each individual document opening in an new window tab.
