Section 7 - Resize a Window

Resizing a window allows you to view more of the contents of the window. To resize a window, move your mouse pointer into the size box.

While holding the mouse button down, drag the size box to the right or down. As you begin to drag the size box, an outline appears to indicate the borders of the new sized window.

Once the outline is the size you want, release the mouse button. The window will expand to occupy the space indicated by the outline (the outline will disappear). The mouse pointer will remain in the size box until it is moved. The application windows are the only windows that will produce an outline when you are resizing the windows. The finder windows will not produce an outline.
