Lesson 6: Resizing and Reshaping Windows
If you've been following the steps in this chapter, you now have a
screen cluttered with several program windows. Fortunately, it's
simple to recreate order out of this chaos. You can resize windows
so 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 and shape of
windows open on the desktop.

on the desktop and highlights the menu bar to show it is the
active window.
