[Changing the size of windows]
Introduction:
To make working with several programs at once easier, you can change the
size of the windows. You can maximize or enlarge a window so it takes up the
document window.
(Magnification users)
*. Click the Maximize button in the Outlook Express Tutorial window's title
bar .
These symbols for "Maximise and Minimise" appear at the top right of the
document window. The Maximise symbol appears as a type of square or like a
TV screen, whereas the Minimise symbol looks like a "Dash -" symbol.
Note: If you aren't sure what the title bar is, then revisit "Lesson 1" of
the word tutorials for to find out about the title bar.
*. The Outlook Express Tutorial window maximizes, filling the entire
document window. You can change a maximized window back to its original size
by clicking the Restore button. The Restore button replaces the Maximize
button whenever a window is already maximized and looks like a "dash
symbol".
*. Click the Restore button in the Outlook Express Tutorial window's title
bar to restore the Outlook Express Tutorial window to its previous size .
Note:The window returns to its previous size.
Besides Maximizing and Restoring a window, you can also manually fine-tune a
window's size to meet your own specific needs. A window must not be in a
maximized
state if you want to manually size it.
(Magnification users)
*. Position the mouse pointer over the bottom edge of the Outlook Express
tutorial window, until it changes to a "cross hair"
Note:The mouse is very picky about where you place the pointer, and it can
sometimes be a little tricky finding the exact spot where the pointer
changes so some practice is required for this job.
*. While the pointer is still over the bottom edge of the window, click and
hold down the mouse button, drag the mouse down a half-inch to move the
window border, and then release the mouse button .
Note:Notice the window border follows as you drag the mouse. When the window
is the size you want, you can release the mouse button to resize the window.
You
resized the window by adjusting the bottom edge of the window, but you can
also adjust the left, right, and top edges of the window.
Sometimes, when you have more than one window open at the same time, you may
find that one window covers another window or other items on your screen.
When
this happens, you can simply move a window to a new location on the
screen-just like you would move a report or folder to a new location on your
desk.
*. Click and drag the title bar of the Outlook Express Tutorial window to a
new location on the screen. Release the mouse button to drop the window .
Note:Remember that the title bar is at the top of the window or program, and
displays the name of the program or window. An outline of the window follows
your
mouse as you drag the window, showing you where you are moving it.
*. Click the Maximize button in the Outlook Express Tutorial window's title
bar .
The Lesson 2 Schedule window is maximized.
