Post From: Always-Visible Spreadsheet Windows Overlaid on Charts (Without Detaching)

The way this is accomplished is very standard:
Also, another interesting thing I would love to know is the following:
Whenever the spreadsheet is attached to the main instance and I click on a window that seats underneath it (making the spreadsheet window "disappearing"). How can I retrieve it? Because even if I click on Window --> Windows and chartbooks, the spreadsheet window is just not present in the list... The only way (I found) is to minimise the window that sits underneath the SS window, moving the SS window, maximise the window again, moving the SS window back where it was.

You select the spreadsheet through the CW menu, or the MDI window tabs:
Window, CB and CW Menus: CW Menu
General Settings Window: Window Tabs (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Windows)

Also be aware of this new setting:
General Settings Window: Position Spreadsheet After Associated Chart on MDI Tabs (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Windows >> Window Tabs)

it would be extremely valuable to have an option to keep the Spreadsheet window always visible and overlaid (or docked/floating in a non-intrusive way) directly on top of individual charts
We think there are significant technical problems with supporting this. We do not think it would work properly in the case of a MDI child window.
