Allow splitting of windows beyond 2 panes

[Melissa]

MS Project currently allows the window to be split into 2 panes so one can
view, for e.g., the Gantt chart on the top and task details on the bottom.

I find this function extremely useful and I usually display Task Details on
the bottom pane with Predecessor/Successor fields. However, I also find
there is some blank space on the right half of this pane and would like to
suggest MS to allow further splitting of the bottom pane. An e.g. of how I
would use this suggested feature in totality is:

1. Top pane - display gantt chart with task name, start/end, dates,
indicators, etc.
2. Bottom left pane - Task Details form with Predecessor/Successor fields
3. Bottom right pane - Notes form

So when I select any task in Top pane, I can immediately see my
Predecessors/Successors in bottom left pane, and Notes in bottom right pane.

Of course, an advanced feature of this suggestion is to allow users to
customise what they want to see in bottom left and bottom right panes.

I didn't realise MS doesn't read this site at all. I thought that's what the
"Suggestion" section is for
Thanks for letting me know and I will go post my suggestion on their MS
Project site.
