TIPS and Tricks
Using multiple browsers / multiple screens External links inside your course will always open a new browser window. You may choose to have several browser windows open while you are working.

1) Why would you want multiple browser windows open at one time?
     Its like having more than one book open on your desk  while working on a paper.
     You can accomplish several tasks simultaneously, or simply to switch back and forth between tasks.
          One window will be your MyLutherNet portal.
          Another browser window will open when you click on email.
          You may want to conduct a web search on a third browser window.

2) Using the TaskBar at the bottom of your monitor:

Each time you open a browser window or another document, a "button" is added to the TaskBar at the bottom of your screen. The TaskBar shown above has 2 browser windows and four other documents open.  Click once on the button of the document you want to see.  It will bring that document to the top for viewing.

3) Tabbing through the windows:
     Alt+Tab will toggle from one window to the next
     Shift+Alt+Tab cycles the other way

Clicking on a taskbar button activates the corresponding program, but the icons are small, and the button captions are often truncated. Press Alt-Tab repeatedly to cycle through larger icons representing open programs—even some that don't show up on the taskbar. Pressing Shift-Alt-Tab cycles the other way, in case you missed the application you wanted.
