In that case, choose Window, Move Tab To New Window. You have one document open in one tab and another in another tab, both in the same window. Then open each document in a window and drag the corners to resize them each so they take up half the screen and the tops to position them so one is on the left and the other is on the right.Īnother possibility is that you are using tabs. To check, move your cursor to the top of the screen and see if the View menu has “Exit Full Screen Mode.” If it does, then use that to exit Full Screen mode and return to using Pages with documents in windows.
One guess is that you are viewing Pages in Full Screen mode.
It is hard to guess why one document would be replacing the other when you open it.
