I did, could I the same sheet to different windows at

Since each document needs a separate copy of the sheet, you
should either a) put the sheet window in your document's nib
file and hook it up to an outlet in the document/window
controller (depending on how your document's set up), or b) put
the sheet in its own separate nib and load it if needed using
NSBundle's loadNibNamed:owner: method. Option (a) is a bit
simpler, but will sometimes use more memory, since (b) lets you
wait until you actually need to use the sheet in a document
befor you load it into memory. You can copy and paste the panel
from one nib file to another in Interface Builder.
