About this task

You can specify how Notes opens window tabs by setting a Windows and Themes user preference. For example, by default, every time you open a document or Notes application, a new window tab opens, but you can set a preference to group the windows, so that all of your mail messages, for example, open in one tab.

You can perform the following tasks on window tabs:

Table 1. Tasks used with window tabs

Notes Basic client users - You can specify how Notes opens window tabs. Every time you open a document or application, a new window tab opens beneath the toolbar (or beneath the main menu bar if the toolbar is hidden.)

In this picture there are four window tabs: one for the Home page, and one each for Inbox, To Do list, and Notes application.

Follow these steps to work with window tabs and new windows:

To	Do this
Close a window tab	Click the x in an active window tab.
Close all window tabs	Click File -> Close All Open Window Tabs
Switch window tabs	Press CTRL+TAB
Reorder window tabs	Drag a selected tab to the desired position on the window bar.
Create a bookmark	Drag a window tab to the Bookmark bar or Bookmark list.
Open the currently selected document, bookmark, or Notes application in a new Notes window	Right-click the document or application's window tab and choose Open in New Window. Note: The Save Window State command saves open window tabs in the current Notes window only -- it does not save them in other Notes windows open at the same time.

Working with grouped window tabs
You can set a user preference so that window tabs are opened in groups, instead of each individual document opening in an new window tab.
