  6. Under Window Management specify how Notes® will open a document or a Notes® application:
    • Open each document in its own window - each document opens a new Notes® window.
    • Open each document in its own tab - (default) each document opens a new window tab in your active Notes® window.
    • Group documents from each application on a tab - groups documents, such as mail messages, in a single tab. For example, if you open your mail, a window tab opens. Subsequent messages open in the Mail window tab. A number count displays in the window tab to show how many documents are open.
