SUMMARY
The versions of Microsoft Project listed above are capable of opening more than one window on a single project file. Such windows are identified by the window name followed by &quot;:x&quot;, where x is the instance of the window.

If more than one window is open on a file, and a workspace is saved, the workspace will not restore multiple windows on a single file when the workspace is opened. The workspace will open a file with only one window active on the file.



Example

 * 1) Open a file in Microsoft Project.
 * 2) From the Window menu, choose New Window.
 * 3) Select the name of the file that you have opened from the list of projects. Click the OK button.
 * 4) Project will create a new window on the file that you have selected. For example, if your project file is named &quot;DATABASE.MPP,&quot; you will now have two windows, one titled &quot;Database:1,&quot; and the second titled &quot;Database:2.&quot;
 * 5) From the File menu, choose Save Workspace.
 * 6) Save the workspace file by accepting the default file name (&quot;RESUME.MPW&quot; for Microsoft Project for Windows, or &quot;Resume Microsoft Project&quot; for Microsoft Project for the Macintosh) and clicking the OK button.
 * 7) Exit Microsoft Project.
 * 8) Restart Microsoft Project, and open the workspace file that you saved in step 6.

Note that Microsoft Project opens your project file, but that only one window has been opened.
