# Work with content windows

Content windows are like document windows in other Microsoft Windows applications. You can open multiples windows, switch between open windows, minimize and maximize windows, and stack or cascade them.

The following table describes how to use content windows.

Task | Description
--- | ---
Switch to another open window | Select Window | <Project/Stream Name> | <Window Name> and select a content window. For example, to switch to an open Folders and Items window in the PRJ_INITIAL project, select Window | PRJ_INITIAL | Folders and Items (PAYROLL:PRJ_INITIAL). Click the tab for the project and select the window from the list. For example, to switch to a previously opened Folders and Items window in the VS_SIMPLE_1.0 project, click the PRJ_INITIAL project tab and select Folders and Items.
Minimize, maximize, or rearrange windows. | To minimize a window, on the window title bar, click the Minimize button. To reduce a window, on the window title bar, click the Restore Down button. To maximize a window, on the content window title bar, click the Maximize button. To cascade windows, select Window | Cascade. To stack windows, select Window | Tile Horizontally. To make a window fill the entire screen, select View | Full Screen. This results in the current window filling the entire screen and maximizing the desktop client window. Note: In full screen view, the menu bar, navigation windows, and toolbar are hidden. You can still access the menu bar by moving the mouse pointer to the top of the window, which temporarily displays it, enabling you to choose a menu option. To restore a full screen view to the standard view, click the Close Full Screen button in the floating Full Screen toolbar. Or Select View | Full Screen.
Open an object in a new window. | In an object list, right-click the object and select Open New Window. You see the object in a new content window. Note: Depending on the object, you may also open a new window for an object by double-clicking on it. This depends on the setting for the object type under Double-click behaviors on the User Interface tab of the Preferences dialog box. For details, see Set the user interface options. Select the object to view its related objects.
Display or hide related object lists. | To display related object lists, from the View menu, select the related objects you want to view. For example, in a Request Catalog window, you can view items, requests, and parts. To hide a related object list, from the View menu, select the object again.
