Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Visit your Expose and Spaces pane in the System Preferences configuration tool.
Step2
Check "Enable Spaces."
Step3
Decide how many spaces you need. Consider adding a space for each of your specific projects or functions. Spaces can be used for work, entertainment, communication or anything else for which you might need to group specific applications. You can customize up to 16 spaces.
Step4
Add rows and columns until you have set up as many spaces as you need.
Step5
Select keys on your keyboard to control each space with a single stroke.
Step6
Assign applications to each space. You may permanently assign programs to one space or to all spaces. Likewise, not all programs require assignment and if left as is, can be accessed from each space.
Step7
Group like applications into a specific space. Remember that many major applications are designed to take up the entire display screen; limit how many of these applications go into each space when grouping.
Step8
Press F8 on your keyboard or access Expose to display a virtual map of all your designed spaces.
Step9
Move from space to space by using your mouse to click on the space that's running the applications that you are interested in using.
