## 9. Window menu

Split Windows Vertically

  Clicking on the dashed line found at the bottom of the tab of a document view causes the window area to be split in two parts. This allows to see two documents side by side.

  If this option is turned on, the window area is split vertically. If this option is turned off (the default), the window area is split horizontally.

  Note that turning this option on and off has an immediate effect on the window area, if this area has already been split in two parts.

  Default: not checked.

Close

  Closes active document.

Close All

  Closes all opened documents.

Show Preceding

  Displays preceding (in the order the documents have been opened or created) document tab.

Show Following

  Displays following (in the order the documents have been opened or created) document tab.

Below the above menu items, a menu item is added for each document opened in XXE. Selecting the name of a document in this list causes this document to become the active one and thus, causes the corresponding tab to be displayed.
