Working with multiple documents

The editor lets you have several documents (file views) open for editing at the same time. These views can be of different documents, or different views of the same document. Displaying multiple views of the same document can help you perform functions like cutting and pasting from one section to another. Any changes you make to one file view are automatically updated in all other views of that document. You can also carry out functions like cutting and pasting between views of different documents.

You can open multiple views of a file already open for editing by doing the following:

1. Select Window from the editor menu bar.
2. Select New Editor. A new, empty editor frame appears.
3. Use the Open Files selection list in the File Selector pane of the new editor frame to select and open a file already open for editing in another editor frame.
