Hi I am not sure which list Maria asked this question. I've just tried it out, Maria's way and jackie and George's way. I have no problem doing Alt+Tab and moving between both documents. I ensured that both documents were maxamised as this is my preference in any case and it works just fine. I then went to Window like George suggested and put the documents side by side and I xould still do Alt+tab and move between the documents, of course I could use Ctrl and F6 as an alternative. Was beginning to feel spoilt for choice. Eleanor
