   Sub CascadeWindows()
      Dim iVLap As Integer        'Vertical Window Overlap.
      Dim iHLap As Integer        'Horizontal Window Overlap.
      Dim lngTop As Long          'Cascaded Window Top.
      Dim lngLeft As Long         'Cascaded Window Left.
      Dim lngWidth As Long        'Cascaded Window Width.
      Dim lngHeight As Long       'Cascaded Window Height.
      Dim wDocWindow As Window    'Document Window Object.
      ' If no documents exist, exit this routine.
      If Documents.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
      'Set document window to normal size.
      ActiveWindow.WindowState = wdWindowStateNormal
      'Calculate window sizes.
      iVLap = 14   'Vertical overlap
      iHLap = 28   'Horizontal overlap
      'Calculate width and height of windows in points.
      lngWidth = Application.UsableWidth - ((Windows.Count - 1) * iHLap)
      lngHeight = Application.UsableHeight - ((Windows.Count - 1) * iVLap)
      ' The following loop cascades the windows by calculating
      ' each document window size and then moves them into position.
      For Each wDocWindow In Windows
         Documents(wDocWindow).Activate
         With ActiveWindow
            .Top = lngTop
            .Left = lngLeft
            .Height = lngHeight
            .Width = lngWidth
         End With
         lngLeft = lngLeft + iHLap
         lngTop = lngTop + iVLap
      Next wDocWindow
   End Sub
