Making windows bigger or smaller h, the power of Windows XP. Using separate windows, you can put a spreadsheet, a drawing program, an Internet Web page, and a word processor on-screen at the same time. You can copy a hot-looking graphic from your drawing program and toss it into your memo. You can stick a chunk of your spreadsheet into your memo, too. In the background, the Web can display a constantly running news update. And why not. All four windows can be on-screen

at the same time.

You have only one problem: With so many windows on-screen at the same time, you can’t see anything but a confusing jumble of programs. This chapter shows how to move those darn windows around on- screen so that you can see at least one of them.

Moving a Window to the Top of the Pile

Take a good look at the mixture of windows on-screen. Sometimes you can recognize a tiny portion of the window you’re after. If so, you’re in luck. Move the mouse pointer until it hovers over that tiny portion of the window and click the mouse button. Shazam! Windows XP immedi- ately brings the clicked-on window to the front of the screen.
