How I can open and edit many drawings in different visio windows?

[Maher Ibrahim]

I'm editing many visio drawings at the same time, and when I open the second
one, I cannot see the previous one. Actually, I have to open many drawings
each in different visio window, to swap between them easly, is it possible?

You can open multiple documents simultaneously in a Visio instance, and then
you're limited by the amount of screen space that you have to work between
them (memory, processor, graphics card, etc. still play a part in
usability). Each document can be individually sized within the workspace.

Just to add to the discussion, you can open as many application instances as
you like (well I haven't tried find a limit) and then open the documents
from the various Visio instances, although I can't think of a situation
where you'd want to do this. Bear in mind if you do try this that Visio
will save the state of your customized toolbars (if you've made any changes)
based on the state of the final instance.

I think Al and Pauls suggestions are the most sensible though.

Best regards
