Working with window tabs

Window tabs make it convenient for you to switch from one open document or application to another in IBM® Lotus Notes®.

About this task

You can specify how Lotus Notes opens window tabs by setting a Windows and Themes user preference. For example, by default, every time you open a document or Lotus Notes application, a new window tab opens, but you can set a preference to group the windows, so that all of your mail messages, for example, open in one tab.

You can perform the following tasks on window tabs:
