PART 3: Sizing & Closing Windows

   The size of a window can be changed in several ways. One way is to
   use the three buttons on the top right corner.
   1. Minimize          Reduces the window to a button on the Task Bar.
   This is handy when you want to keep a program open, but you don’t
   want to see it on the screen.
   2. Maximize            (One Window) Enlarges the program window to
   full-screen size. It then changes into a Restore button.
   3. Shrink/Restore           (Two windows) Changes the program
   window to a smaller size.
    4. Close Button:      Closes window and shuts program down



Note: If a window is maximized, the Restore button appears as the middle
button in the top right. If the program window is Restored, the Maximize
                                                              vijayratre@outlook.com
PART 3: Menu Bars




Menu bars help perform many different tasks in a program. They provide
options for saving files, cutting and pasting text, printing documents, etc.
    A.   File – Gives options for saving, opening, and creating new files.
    B. Edit – Gives options for changing the text or objects in a
    document or file (cut, copy, paste, etc)
    C.   Help – Provides online help on the current program




                                                                 vijayratre@outlook.com

PART 3: Tool Bars



Tool bars contain small icons that help you perform common, frequently-
used functions such as Save, Print, Cut, Copy, Paste etc., without having to
access these functions through the Menus on the Menu Bar.

Tool bars are designed for specific uses -- i.e., there are different tool-bars
for Formatting, working with Pictures and Drawing.

You can access the different toolbars from the View Menu                Toolbar

Most Windows programs contain similar layouts and icons on menu bars
and tool bars. If you cannot identify an icon, try moving your mouse cursor
over it and hold still for a few seconds. A little ‘tool tip’ will pop up to clue
you into what the icon represents.

                                                                     vijayratre@outlook.com
PART 3: Tool Bar Exercise


                      1. Can you
                      identify the
                      toolbars
                      shown in this
                      window?


                      2. How can
                      you add on
                      the different
                      toolbars?



                            vijayratre@outlook.com
PART 3: Organizing Windows

Move: To move a Window around on the desktop, click on the Title
Bar, and while holding down the mouse button, drag the window to a
new location on the desktop. This is helpful when you are using more
than one program at a time and need to see them both simultaneously,
such as when you are editing a picture in Paint and then want to import
the picture into a Word document.

Resize: To make a window larger or smaller you can use the resize
pointers. To see the resize pointer, you have to move the cursor to the
edge of the window. The cursor will change to a short line with arrows
at both ends. Then hold the left mouse button and drag any part to
make it wider or smaller.

Organize: When you right-click on the taskbar, a menu appears. This
handy menu contains commands for cascading and tiling windows,
and for minimizing all open windows.


                                                              vijayratre@outlook.com
PART 3: Multi-tasking

Active Window: A window that is currently selected and whose
contents will be affected by all mouse actions, commands and
text entries (typing, using buttons, menus, etc.).
Inactive Window: A window that is open but unavailable for
performing any work in. An inactive Window will always be
“grayed” out.
Notice the difference between an active and inactive window
in the taskbar display. Can you describe it?
Moving Windows: Windows can be moved around by clicking
and holding the title bar with your mouse, then dragging the
window to another location and letting go of the mouse.
Note: Although you may have several windows open -- you
can only work in one window at a time.
                                                     vijayratre@outlook.com
PART 3: Quick Review

    What can you tell from task bar 1 and 2 about the open
    windows?

                                      Is this an active or inactive
                                      window?
                                      What can you tell about the
                                      size of the window?
                                      Hint: Is it maximized or
                                      minimized?

                                                             vijayratre@outlook.com

  3. Windows 98 allows for more than one program to be open at one time. When you open more than one program and swap between them you are multi-tasking. On the Task bar you will notice a "button" for each open program. The Active Program will be indented or pushed in and the Inactive Windows will be "protruding". The title bar of an active window is darker. To move between active and inactive windows you can click on any part of an inactive window on your desktop which will bring it forward and make it active or you can click on the program button on the task bar which will make that window active and bring it forward on your desktop. When multiple windows are open on the desktop they can be moved by clicking your mouse on the Title bar and holding the mouse button down, then move the window up or down, left or right as needed. When you have moved the window to a suitable place on the desktop release the mouse button and the window will remain at that location. This is helpful when you wish to see information in a window behind the active window you are working in. You move the active window to observe the information and then replace the active window and continue working. The title bar of an active window is darker.
