Cloning windows
It is often useful to view separate sections of the same file simultaneously. Forte for Java has a clone function to accomplish this. You can clone the view of any Editor file, the internal web browser, and the JavaHelp browser (for the User's Guide and context help).
To clone a window:
- Make sure the file to be viewed in the cloned window is on the active tab.
- Choose Clone View from either
- If you so desire, undock this new view of the file or dock it into a different window.

Note: You can not use the clone command for the Explorer window. However, you can open up a new Explorer window showing a limited part of the hierarchy by right-clicking on a node in the Explorer and selecting Explore from Here from the contextual menu.
