Hi,
I am wondering if I can save all windows so that I can move them around within a session and then click a button and they all return to the original positions I had them in at the start? So, for instance, I open a saved chartbook, then I move the windows around, then later in the session I click a button and all the windows return to their original positions from the start of the session?
Thanks.

The only way to do this is after saving the Chartbook, you need to later close the Chartbook and reopen the Chartbook.

So you are saying that when I want to get back to the original state the window layout was in when I first opened it I should close the chartbook without saving and reopen it?

Okay, but that won't work if I have saved the layout at any time since it was opened, correct?

Trader1,

I have run into the same situation, and this is my solution. I use "SAVE AS" rather than "SAVE" and just make a different version of the workbook after moving the windows around. For example, open Workbook called "My ES Charts", move the windows around and then SAVE AS "My ES Charts - v2". Then you can easily have access to both the new and old format. Hope this helps.
