For those of us that don’t have the luxury of having the space for dual monitors or work on a laptop most of the time, comparing two files side-by-side means jogging windows around and resizing them manually.<\/p>\n

Windows 7 has a nice little feature called Snap, allowing us some automated ways to manipulate the windows on the screen.\u00a0 As an IT support professional in Wichita, I try to offer my customers added details, beyond just their standard computer repair or application troubleshooting.<\/p>\n

The final result of using Snap can look like the image below:<\/p>\n

\"Using

Dual Screen Effect Using Snap in Windows 7<\/p><\/div>\n

Here we’re using Snap to show a Windows Explorer screen and and Internet web page.\u00a0 Comparing two spreadsheets or two Word documents, anything that might make your life easier.\u00a0 This look was created automatically, without manually resizing the windows.\u00a0 Let’s take a look at the steps, and other ways you can manipulate the screen in Windows 7.<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Open a Window.\u00a0 Any application is fine.<\/p>\n

Step 2: <\/strong>Grab the top blue bar of the application (I will use Internet Explorer) by clicking and holding.\u00a0 Drag the arrow over until the mouse pointer touches the right side of the screen and it will snap <\/em>into place.<\/p>\n

\"Drag

Drag and Snap to the Right<\/p><\/div>\n

Once your window is in place, try this:\u00a0 With the above Window Active<\/em> (Meaning it’s on top), Hold down the Windows key while hitting the left arrow button.\u00a0 Now do the same thing and hit the right arrow key.\u00a0 Up and down will have effect as well.\u00a0 Snap it back to the right for the next step.<\/p>\n

Step 3: <\/strong>Open another window and snap it to the left, just like you did the first application to the right.\u00a0 Either drag, or use the Windows key and arrow key combination above.<\/p>\n

Step 4: <\/strong>The most important step!\u00a0 Play around with it and familiarize.\u00a0 The best way to learn and retain something, especially in the Information Technology field, is to use it.<\/p>\n
