How can I open multiple copies of QP at one time

Hi, - I would like to have at least two copies of QP open at one 
time so I can toggle back and fourth with <alt><tab>. This for me is

more convenient than the <alt><W> to get to several files in one 
instance of QP or using the 'Window' side by side feature.  I 
thought I have done this before but I could have done it using QP 
and a Excel work sheet.

Keith,

One possibility is to have Quattro Pro versions 12 and X3 open 
simultaneously.

Your subject line is a bit mis-leading.  Instead of opening multiple 
copies, I think what you meant was how to switch between open Notebooks.

I think it unlikely that you will only have two applications open at 
once.  Therefore, Alt+Tab will require multiple presses.

If you limit yourself to such then SDI applications should be all that 
you buy.  Corel's WordPerfect Office Suite of Applications use MDI.

If you want to do it the qp way while in qp, use Ctrl+F6 and Shift+F6 to 
switch to the next and previous Notebooks.  This is explained in the 
Help for "Function Keys".

Most all applications allow the Atl+W method.  In qp, you can also click 
the button of the open Notebook in the Application bar.  If there is not 
enough room, meaning you have not resized that command, then a list 
similar to the Alt+W list will be shown in a drop down list for that 
command on the Application bar.

I'm using an Autohotkey script to enable Winkey-<number> to toggle 
between  windows (plus several other functions like copy-special stuff).

Of course you can write a macro and assign it the keys you want (those 
allowed) or add the feature to some other key combo as well.
