|  |  | Document Window

You can isolate a document in its own window, known as a document window. These windows are convenient for split screen work. For any editable file formats, you can open a document window by double-clicking a document in any view of a main window. Alternately, you can choose Data > Open or Open from the contextual menu to open any document in a document window. For most file types that can't be edited directly in DEVONthink, double-clicking the file will open it in the system default application. For example, double-clicking a Word file will open it in the same application that opens if you had opened the file in the Finder. See the Documents chapter for a detailed description of the various document types DEVONthink supports.
Note: Command-clicking the window title shows the document's location including the database it's stored in.
Toolbar Items Similar to the main window, a document window has a toolbar at its top. The default toolbar buttons may vary, depending on the type of file being viewed in the window. You can customize the toolbar via View > Customize Toolbar, but note there are fewer options than you have with a main window. A list of available toolbar items is available in the Toolbar section of the appendix.
