Resizing a window from the title bar

From the buttons on the window title bar you can

• minimize or iconify a window
• maximize, or
• restore the size of a window

The icon at the left corner of the title bar if clicked twice will close the window and remove your document from the computer's memory. If you have unsaved changes you will be allowed to save them. Click it once to get a menu of commands that can be applied to the window.

The Minimize Window icon will reduce the window to an icon.

The Maximize Window icon will expand the window to fill the available room.

The Restore Window icon will restore the window to the size it was before it was either maximized or minimized.

The Close Window icon will close the window and remove your document from the computer's memory. If you have unsaved changes you will be allowed to save them.
