Ken's "Using Match Hue in FCP5"

I'm using match hue in FCP5 using Ken Stone's (Andrew Balls') monograph of Sept, '05. The first instruction is to go to Window then to Arrange then to Multiple Edits; I can't find this option. Have I missed a step? I get Dual Screen and other options but nothing about Multiple Edits which it seems like you need to do this properly.

In the menu > Window > Arrange > Multiple Edits. It's in there for me.

Do you have a wide enough computer monitor display? Some of those window-arrangement options are contingent upon having a wide enough monitor.

Dual Monitors. Should I have another setting? The only options I get are:
Custom Layout 1
Custom Layout 2, both unavailable
then:
Audio Mixing
Color Correction
Dual Screen-color correction
Dual Screen-editing
Standard
Two Up and then two save options. No Multiple Edits option is available. This is FCP5, G4, Dual processor

From the Andrew Balis article:

> Set Up FCP Interface. Choose Window > Arrange > Multiple Edits. This re-
> arranges the windows, and opens up a couple more. If this window

I don't think dual monitors behaves as one wide one. That could be your issue -- your primary monitor isn't wide enough.

Yeah, that did it. Had to mess around a little bit but it did show. Thanks. Brilliant!
Why didn't they just put it in there and not give it as an option? That way I would have known something was amiss and may have guessed it was resolution!!! (Retorical!)
