Working on multiple programs/pages on desktop?

How do I keep 2 programs open and work on them at once, ie use pageplus and use online tutorial at the same time?

Page plus doesnt resize, so when I follow the tutorial instructions I have to keep switching between the tutorial and the desktop page. How can I make the Online tutorial stay on screen and work at the same time? it must be fairly simple but have looked under help & can't find anything.

Swap pages, try ALT + TAB keys. Buy a second monitor. Use Windows 7, automatically resizes two windows.

Not true . XP has it and there is an add on for Firefox. http://www.watchingthenet.com/tile-multiple-windows-in-firefox-with-split-browser-extension.html

PP doesn't resize? So it doesn't conform to standard Windows requirements? Are you sure?

Try clicking Restore (top right, middle button of the 3) and then dragging the bottom right corner to resize... Unless it's a full screen multimedia app, I've never come across an application that won't allow a window resize...

Hi
Many thanks for all your replies.
The Alt + tab option doesnt work as I want to use both windows at same time.

However the tile window option - you can choose to space them vertically, horizontally or cascade - works great and is exactly what I wanted.

Pageplus does resize as well just as you said, but the tile option is much quicker & easier.

Dont know what I would do without this site & you expert 'guys'.
