Lesson 7: Resizing, repositioning, and hiding
windows
If you have followed the lessons in this chapter, you now have
a screen with several program windows open. You can
organize these windows by resizing and repositioning them
so that you can see more than one of them at a time. You can
also hide windows by removing them from the desktop
without actually closing your document or program.
This lesson introduces several ways to adjust the size, shape,
and position of windows open on the desktop.
