Description Corblin 2021-02-28 19:45:43 UTC
Description:
I would like to open more than one file, in this case a .docx document, however, every time I click it partially closes the preview and opens the new file, so for me to see the previous file (The first) I need to close this new one ( The second), I have seen several blogs and either do not refer to this question or have no answer, as in the case of this forum (https://forum.techtudo.com.br/perguntas/204877/como-abrir-dois-documentos -different-side-by-side-in-libreoffice) that the person has the same problem as me but got no answer, just a paleative solution that would be: open two different windows in Windows (by selecting Show Windows side by side in the bar of tasks), but it would be of great help if, as in Word, you could open more than one window, thus, more than one document with LibreOffice.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the folder with the desired file;
2.Select the file in question and open it more than once or choose another file;
3.so that both are open and available.

Actual Results:
I would like to open more than one file, in this case a .docx document, however, every time I click it partially closes the preview and opens the new file, so for me to see the previous file (The first) I need to close this new one ( The second)

Expected Results:
Select the file in question and open it more than once or choose another file so that both are open and available.

Multiple windows have been available from the StarOffice era.

As with many programs, once the application is running--every Window of each module (for that instance of soffice.bin) will be present on the main menu's 'Window' menu.

Select from that list to shift between the open documents.

Opening new documents from the main menu's File option will shift program focus to that newly opened frame--the previous instance is still open and accessible.
