797763 2009-08-03 22:08:00 I want students to be able to view a tutorial from a website while being able to use excel 2007 at the same time. I know we can drag and move windows so that they both take up half a screen each but is there a shortcut or quick key press that allows two open windows to be immediately sized to take up half a screen each. (Hard to explain I know, can you imagine trying to search for that in Google..:annoyed:)

797764 2009-08-03 22:19:00 Hi newteach. Don't use excel, but in Word 2007 I simply click on the View tab and then on Side by Side. The two required documents need to be opened first. Excel may have something similar. Good luck. Scouse (83)

This works for any open programs.

You press ctrl+alt and a number on the numpad, which maximises the window to that portion of the screen. Pressing the same combination again gives an alternative sizing (1/3 vs 1/2)
