To read a news page listed in an index, double-click on the headline. A news page window will open containing the selected page.
Detaching News Page Windows
When you open a news page window from an index, the page window remains linked to that index window. When you click on a new title from any index in the same index window, the corresponding news page will replace the one in the linked page window. This allows you to quickly view stories, one after another, without cluttering your display area with multiple windows.
When you detach a page window from an index window, it is no longer affected by selections you make. If you double click on another page title in the index window, a new page window will open for it.
To Detach a News Page Window From an Index, click the right mouse button on the page window and select DETACH LINK from the menu.
You can also detach a news page window as you select it from your index window. Simply press and hold down your Shift key as you double click on the page name, and it will open in a separate, detached window.
You can fill your work area with detached story windows opened from any index. They will not be affected by selections made in the index nor by closing the index.
