Setting to open Numbers files in separate windows, not tabs

Is there a setting in Numbers (and probably Pages as well) to always open documents/files in separate windows and not as tabs in the current open document? I have Safari opening in separate windows and Finder windows too. Seems like Numbers/Pages should allow me to do the same thing. I'm on a 2017 iMac running Ventura 13.6.1 and Numbers 13.2. Thanks for the help.

You can change the default behavior here in System Settings:




If you decide to keep this as open in new tabs by default then you can always press option-command-n when you want to open a new window.

I was a bit puzzled by your question because I had never seen document tabs in Numbers.


But then...


Play with that to see if it helps.


The only way I found to open a document in another tab was to click on the + at the right end of the bar. I wonder what method you use, other than Open in the File menu.
