Arranging Windows

Every Office program and document opens inside a window, which contains a title bar, menus , toolbars and a work area, which is where you create and edit your documents. Most often, you'll probably fill the entire screen with one window. But when you want to move or copy information between programs or documents, it's easier to display several windows at once. You can arrange two or more windows from one program or from different programs on the screen at the same time. However, you must make the window active to work in it. You can also click the document buttons on the taskbar to switch between open Office documents.

All windows contain the same sizing buttons:

  • Maximize button . Click to make a window fill the entire screen.
