does anyone know how to make it so that you can be typing in a word processor while still looking at your web browser?

the only way i can do this is by changing window size/location, but i know there has to be a better way

um

you can click the restore button on the title bar

its the one with the two boxes

or you can right click the taskbar and tile windows horizontally/vertically

i guess

what do you mean 'more efficient'

it takes two clicks of the mouse and does exactly what you asked

...It's not built into windows (to be on every program) if that's what you are asking. Yes you have to download something, unless you plan to write the program from scratch.

when i'm trying to type at a very fast rate, moving my hand to the mouse takes time... making it 'less efficient'

i wasnt aware of the alt-tab shortcut... that's the advice i needed, thanks guys

you only have to click 'tile windows horizontally' once
