Re: Windows Arranged in Workspaces

The sequence of opening can be controlled without using Window/ "Arrange
All" and without maximizing or minimizing. Click the windows in the
reverse sequence as wanted for the opening but do not click Window/
"Arrange All". The windows have not moved in the workspace. Upon closing
(F4) a "....has been modified" box must obtained (for the following to
work) and click "yes". Upon reopening the workspace the loading sequence
is the reverse of the previous clicking. (The loading sequence can be
seen before opening in the "Open Workspace" window). The loading is not
by column 1 , 2, 3, etc. but by the position the window occupied before
closing the workspace. So for 

1	2	3
4	5	6

if you clicked 5, 3, 6, 2, 1, 4 then closed, upon reopening, the loading
sequence and positions is 4, 1, 2, 6, 3, 5. If you clicked Window/
"Arrange All" before closing, the windows will rearrange and the
sequence is the same but loading positions will be by column 1, 2, 3,
etc. Obviously, click Window/ "Arrange All" is the best option as you
can see the arrangement before closing whereas by the method outlined
here you will have to remember it. 

Ah, the mysteries of TS.

Thanks to Dennis Holverstott and Bill Brower for pointing out the
"Arrange All" option. Bill noted this was documented in a prior issue of
TS Express (William Brower <1000mileman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>).
