Hey everyone, new to the forum here but glad I found it.
I am looking for advice on operation of the windows on my macbook pro.

When I have a window at full screen (such as my chrome), if I click on Microsoft word it closes my current window and opens MW. I would like MW to "overlay" my Chrome window.
Weird request maybe, but does anyone know if this can be done. I would like to be able to listen/watch my webinars and take notes. I know I can do sXs - but I am not interested in that unless it's a last rest.

Thanks!
 
I think that since you’re running chrome in full screen mode, it’s in its own desktop. I don’t know of any way to have a windowed program overlay a full screen program because the windowed apps will default to the main window. Have you played with exposé to see if you can drag the window over?
