It would really be helpful if I could use Notepad or the web while Im playing. How can I switch out of EverQuest to a different window (Alt+Tab) and return to the game?
EverQuest can run in either full-screen mode, or in a window. To switch modes, press Alt+Enter. Alternatively, open the Options window (Alt+O) and click “Switch to Windowed” or “Switch to Fullscreen” in the Display options. (If you use both methods, you may find that the Options window shows the wrong setting, but the button there will still switch modes. You may have to wait a few moments for the screen to settle down, so be patient, and don’t switch modes in the middle of combat!) In Windowed mode, you can minimize the window EQ is in, or use Alt+Tab to switch to other windows and run other tasks, surf the web, or even open another instance of EQ if your machine can handle that and you have another account on which to play. It used to be, after switching to Windowed, you had to type Alt+Shift+R to make EQ relinquish control of the mouse pointer, but that is no longer true. 3.6.
