I was playing. I hit the "split view" button which I had added to the toolbar. You can also find it in the drop down from View. I got two views. I hit it again and then again. At one point I had 8 views although one was blank. You can change the view in each individual "view" by clicking on the tab. I played with Windows/tile horizontally/tile vertically until I got what I wanted. It's very nice and it would save time if I could save the four view setup so I don't have to mess with it each time I open Legacy. The primary person in each view can be different.At the moment I have John Smith in family view in 1, his grandfather in family view in 2, him in descendant view in 3, his chronology in 4. It's a very nice feature.
I got it to open whatever I click on in the toolbar on the other monitor. It's almost as good as having two instances of the same database open at once. I should add I am running 64 bit Windows 7 and am currently using 3.4 GB RAM. This may be a memory intensive setup.
