Can I play wow in a window?

[Hagar the Horrible]

yesterday I was flying from Gadgetzan to Rut'theran Village.

I always ALT TAB and check this site or read about quests I'm going to do.

I ALT+TAB'ed back 6 times before I actualy landed.

Is there a way to have a small window open to see where I am?

I always hae my Game Windowed, all you need to do is go to the Video Options and ceck the paly window mode box

As somebody has said, it's hidden away in the Interface Options.

Alternatively if you use FuBar, there's a module called something like SwitcherFu which does this with one click. Very handy for long flights, or while waiting for raids to start, or while a PuG member has afked for dinner......

I used a program at least a year ago in some MMO that allows you to play window mode when you press F11 but I'm not sure WOW allows that. Post the program here (if I find it.)

You lose a little graphic quality in window'd mode, but it makes alt-tabbing so much better.

Yeah I always run WoW in a window - but i have a 1920x1200 widescreen so I run wow in i think a 1600x1000 window and have web pages / ventrilo peeking on the right hand side

...i did kinda notice that slight blurry look to it whenever i play window mode... but, its trivial so it doesnt impact gameplay one bit.
