Working with multiple open files
OpenOffice.org
uses a Single Document Interface (SDI). This means that each open
document has its own window. The Window
menu displays all of the currently open documents in OOo.
Two
of OOo’s strong points are the accessibility of information about
the active document and the ease of navigating among open documents.
Each OpenOffice.org window provides menus, toolbars and other
features directly relating to the document in that window.
When
more than one OpenOffice.org document is open, you can switch between
the active document and other open documents in several ways:
From the Window
menu, select the document you want to become active.
Use
the Minimize button on the
titlebar to minimize the active document and reveal other open
documents.
Select
a document from your desktop’s Panel or Taskbar to activate it.
Close
the current document to access other open documents.
Use
the Alt+Tab shortcut keys to cycle through the open
documents.
In
MSO
Control+F6
switches between documents. In OOo
F6
is used to move to the menu and each of the toolbars. Control+F6
makes the current document active.
