Mac 101: more than one inspector window

All you have to do is hold down the option key whilst clicking on the tab you want.

And there you have it ... the simplest Mac 101 we've done yet. When you click on the tab you want, a new inspector window will appear with the tab you just clicked. You can open as many as you want! This works well in Pages, Keynote, and pretty much any application that supports inspector windows.
