Every Office program and workbook opens inside a window,
which contains a title bar, Ribbon, and work area, which is where you
create and edit your data. 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 documents.
Resize and Move a Window
- Maximize button. Click to make a window fill the entire screen.
- Restore Down button. Click to reduce a maximized window to a reduced size.
- Minimize button. Click to shrink a window to a taskbar button. To restore the window to its previous size, click the taskbar button.

Resize and Move a Window Using a Mouse
 If the window is maximized, click the Restore Down button.
 Use the following methods:
- Move. Move the mouse over the title bar.

Move the mouse over one of the borders of the window until the mouse
pointer changes into a two-headed arrow. The directions of the
arrowheads show you the directions in which you can resize the window.
