Moving Between Windows in the Same Application

In addition to working in multiple applications in Windows, you also can open multiple windows within many applications. If you are using a mouse, you can move to a window by clicking any part of it. When you do, the title bar becomes highlighted, and that particular window comes to the front so you can work in it.

Figure 6.7 shows multiple document windows open in Microsoft Word. You can switch between the windows, arrange windows, and open and close windows within the application, just as you can manipulate windows within the Windows 2000 program.

Figure 6.7 Three document windows are open within Microsoft Word.

Open multiple document windows using the File , Open command. By default, each window is maximized within the document area. To switch between open, maximized windows, click the Window menu and select the document from the list at the bottom of the menu or select the document's button on the taskbar. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+F6 to cycle through open windows.

In this lesson, you learned how to start and exit applications, arrange windows, switch between windows in the same application, and switch between applications. In the next lesson, you learn to copy and move information between windows.
