8 The Window menu

The commands on this menu allow you to move and manipulate the windows on the screen, in the same way as most other Microsoft Windows applications. The following commands are available:

• New window Opens a new window with the same contents as the currently active window. You can open multiple query windows to display different parts or views of a query at the same time. If you edit the query, all other windows containing the same query reflect those changes. When you open a new window, it becomes the active window and is displayed on top of all other open windows.
• Cascade This command arranges the open windows so that they overlap each other, with the title bar of each window staying visible.
• Tile This command re-arranges the open windows so that none of the windows overlaps any other.
• Arrange icons Choose this command to arrange the icons for minimized windows at the bottom of the main window. If there is an open query window at the bottom of the main window, then some or all of the icons may not be visible because they will be underneath this query window.
• Window 1, 2, ... At the bottom of the Window menu SARA displays a list of all currently open query windows, with a check mark in front of the one which is currently active. You can choose a different query name from this list to change the currently active window.
