SUMMARY
Microsoft Word does not contain a command to cascade all open document windows. To add this functionality, use the Visual Basic for Applications macro included in this article. After you create this macro, you can add it to the Window menu for easy access.

This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements.
The following example Visual Basic for Applications macro routine will cascade all open Single Document Interface (SDI) windows.
Sub CascadeWindows()
Dim iVLap As Integer 'Vertical Window Overlap.
Dim iHLap As Integer 'Horizontal Window Overlap.
Dim lngTop As Long 'Cascaded Window Top.
Dim lngLeft As Long 'Cascaded Window Left.
Dim lngWidth As Long 'Cascaded Window Width.
Dim lngHeight As Long 'Cascaded Window Height.
Dim wDocWindow As Window 'Document Window Object.
' If no documents exist, exit this routine.
If Documents.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
'Set document window to normal size.
ActiveWindow.WindowState = wdWindowStateNormal
'Calculate window sizes.
iVLap = 14 'Vertical overlap
iHLap = 28 'Horizontal overlap
'Calculate width and height of windows in points.
lngWidth = Application.UsableWidth - ((Windows.Count - 1) * iHLap)
lngHeight = Application.UsableHeight - ((Windows.Count - 1) * iVLap)
' The following loop cascades the windows by calculating
' each document window size and then moves them into position.
For Each wDocWindow In Windows
Documents(wDocWindow).Activate
With ActiveWindow
.Top = lngTop
.Left = lngLeft
.Height = lngHeight
.Width = lngWidth
End With
lngLeft = lngLeft + iHLap
lngTop = lngTop + iVLap
Next wDocWindow
End Sub
