Even though you cannot tile visible workbook windows if one of them is
minimized, you can arrange them vertically or horizontally. You can also
cascade the visible workbook windows.
To arrange workbook windows, use the following line of code:
Application.Windows.Arrange <constant>
In this line of code, <constant> can be one of the following four different
values.
Constant Definition
---------------------------------------------------------------------
xlArrangeStyleCascade Cascade the visible windows.
xlArrangeStyleHorizontal Arrange the visible windows horizontally.
xlArrangeStyleVertical Arrange the visible windows vertically.
xlArrangeStyleTiled Tile the visible windows (a combination of
horizontal and vertical arrangement).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
