How is this "simple" on Macintosh, please? It's a well established 
idea, I think, that aficionados of Apple systems often prefer them 
through genuinely held but erroneous notions of what other operating 
systems cannot do. See

. So it's fair that we should enquire.

If you don't have two windows, how do you see two sheets? That would 
have to be a facility in LibreOffice itself, which I don't see 
exists. In any case, if it did it would exist equally under different 
operating systems.

If there are two windows and you don't have both windows running, 
they cannot be operative and functional: nothing can work. (And you 
don't have to "keep each running": they do this by themselves!) If 
you have two windows each running in the same instance of 
LibreOffice, how is this different from what happens under Windows? 
And from what happens under Linux?

Are you able to explain in detail, please, exactly what you think Mac 
OS will do for you in this context - and how you achieve it - that 
isn't provided by other operating systems?

Or can anyone else confirm the advantage and explain the difference?
