Doug and RajKohli,

Thank you both. Doug, just after I posted my question I tried your technique
and it worked great, except with RajKohli's advice, I can do it much easier
from the taskbar - I have never used the 'tile windows' option before!

I guess a third way around this would be to somehow set Adobe Reader to
'always be on top'. But I can't seem to find any 'preference' tab anywhere!

Thanks guys

As said by Dough I don't think that you have to manually resize both windows
to fit in screen.

1. Maximized both Application windows
2. Right-click in the empty area of your Taskbar and choose an option like:
"Tile Windows Horizontally"
or "Tile Windows Vertically"

Hope this information helps you, let us know!

Hi there,

I am using Adobe Reader to view journal articles in pdf format and Word to
jot down notes.

I am sick of alt-tabbing to switch between them both - is there a way I can
have both windows open at the same time and not have Reader disappear when I
type in Word?

Thanks in advance
