How do I open multiple tabs in Microsoft Office?

Answered by Edward Huber

To open multiple tabs in Microsoft Office, you can use the New Window feature to have multiple windows open at the same time. This allows you to view and work on different documents or files side by side.

To do this, first open the document or file you want to work on. Then, navigate to the VIEW tab in the Window group. In this tab, you will find the option to open a New Window. Click on it.

By opening a new window, you essentially create a duplicate of the document or file you were working on. Now, you have two separate windows open, each displaying the same content.

To view these two windows side by side for easy comparison or multitasking, go back to the VIEW tab and click on View Side by Side. This will arrange the two windows next to each other on your screen.

Now, any changes you make in one window will automatically appear in the other window as well. This allows you to work on different parts of the same document simultaneously or compare two different documents side by side.

To go back to a single window, simply close one of the windows by clicking the X button on the top right corner of the window.

By using the New Window and View Side by Side features in Microsoft Office, you can enhance your productivity and efficiency by working on multiple documents or files at the same time. This is particularly useful when you need to reference information from one document while making changes to another.

I personally find this feature extremely helpful in my work. For example, when I need to review a report while simultaneously making edits to a different document, having multiple windows open allows me to easily switch between the two tasks without losing focus or wasting time.

In summary, to open multiple tabs in Microsoft Office, use the New Window feature to create a duplicate window of the document or file you want to work on. Then, use the View Side by Side option to arrange these windows next to each other. This enables you to view and work on different documents or files simultaneously.
