permanent grouping of several windows
i would like to permanently group several windows so i can always move them as a group. they are not mulled but side by side with 6 inches between them.
is this possible?
i have checked the reference manual on blocking and cant really follow it!
thanks

Select one of the windows you want to block, then hold down the shift key and select the others you want included in the block. In the edit toolbar that comes up click block. You can add these to a custom window library for use in future plans..

Harv:
The "block" icon on the edit toolbar looks like a white cube. This will make a block out of whatever windows you have group selected prior to invoking the block command by clicking this icon.Dan Marrin

The Home Edition does not have the ability to block windows (or any other objects) together. This is proffesional feature that is only available in the Full and Base versions.
