NB: If a program has more than one window open, you can close all of its
open windows by holding down the Shift key when you click the Close button
for any window.

Moving a Window

When you have several programs or windows open, you may find that one
window covers the other windows. When this happens, you can simply move a
window to a new location on the screen. In this case, let us launch WordPad

program again.

Here's how to move a window:
1. Position the mouse pointer over the title bar of the window or program

(e.g. WordPad).
2. Click the title bar and move the mouse while still holding down the
mouse button. [Yep, it's that drag and drop stuff you learned earlier].
3. Release the mouse button to drop the window to a new location.

Changing the Size of a Window

After moving a window, you may need to fine-tune the size of a window to meet
your own specific needs. To do this, launch a program. E.g. WordPad
1. Make sure the WordPad program appears as a window and doesn't fill
the entire screen.

2. Position the mouse pointer over the right border of the WordPad
window until it changes to a two arrows ( ) point in the directions that
you can drag the window's border, in this case, left or right.

3. Click and hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse to the
right to move the window border. [NB: As you drag the mouse, the
window stretches].
4. When the window is the size you want, release the mouse button.
