e-mail window
Close all other windows, then use the monitor buttons, (make a note
of the current settings), to move the screen to the left until you can *grab* the side of the window with the cursor and drag it to the left a few inches. Return the monitor to its original setting. Use the cursor to drag the window to a normal full screen size and use File Close. Now open OE and go to the window in question and it should open to the last size used. -- Bruce Hagen ~IB-CA~ "R.

e-mail window
Hi R. Alan,
Can you drag the window using the top bar? If not, (with the message window on top/active) right-click on its button on the taskbar, select Move and use the arrow keys to move the window. -- Tim K. aka Kuay Tim MVP - (IE/OE) Lynnwood, WA * "R.

e-mail window (Scenario 1)
The answer to your question depends on your situation. I
can only think of three off the top of my head and since I am long winded, I will separate them into three posts. SCENARIO 1: - There is no black space on the left side of your screen (unless your wallpaper is black). - A window is open (specifically you mail program) and shifted to the right. - Behind the open window you can see your desktop*. - When you move your mouse all the way to the left side of your screeen, it continues until you reach the left most edge of the monitor. It will not appear as if there is more distance that your mouse pointer can travel. Answer to Scenario 1: Note that the upper edge of any window is called its title bar. It will have a descriptive title of what is contained in the window and typically has three buttons on the far right hand side (the 'x' as you know is used to close the window). Consider the title bar a window "handle" and your mouse pointer is your hand. To "grip" the "handle" you must press your left mouse button. When you release the left mouse button, your "grip" is released. Press your left mouse button on the title bar (the window handle). Hold the button down so as not to release your "grip" on the window. Then, move your mouse to the left, slowly at first, and notice that the window moves with the mouse pointer. Release your "grip" on the "handle" when you have positioned the window so that all of the buttons in the upper right hand corner are visible. * The windows desktop is a location with a customizable background image. Typically, it is the location for most of the icons you use to open your programs and should be the first thing you see, along with your Start Menu, after turning the computer on. IMPORTANT NOTE: I assume, unless otherwise stated, that you are experiencing no other difficulties with your system performance or windows functionality. |

e-mail window (Scenario 2)
The answer to your question depends on your situation. I
can only think of three off the top of my head and since I am long winded, I will separate them into three posts. SCENARIO 2: - There is no black space on the left side of your screen (unless your wallpaper is black). - A window is open (specifically you mail program). The left edge of the email program's window is on the left edge of the screen, yet you still cannot see the buttons on the right edge of the screen. - When you move your mouse all the way to the left side of your screeen, it continues until you reach the left most edge of the monitor. It will not appear as if there is more distance that your mouse pointer can travel. Answer to Scenario 2: Not only can you manipulate the location of the window on your screen (see Scenario 1), you can also resize windows by their edges, and yes, a window can be larger the view that you see on your monitor. You will first have to move your email window to the left and you may have to "grip" the "handle" and move the window to the left more than once to see the end of the window*. Once the window has been repositioned so that the close button is visible you will need to rezise the window, or it will be the same size and in the same position the next time you open your mail program. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR MOUSE POINTER! Move your mouse to the right most edge of the window (to the right of the scroll bar, if there is one). When your mouse is on the edge of the window, your pointer will resemble a double sided arrow. "Grip" the window by its side "handle" and move your mouse to the left to make the window smaller. This step may also need to be performed more than once*. * Imagine that some how your window spreads to the right and is 2 times the size of your monitor: [ desktop ]............ {Window size x} If you "gripped" the titlebar in the middle and moved your mouse to the left as far as it could go, you still wouldn't have moved the window far enough over to see the buttons. It would kind of resemble this: ......[ desktop ]....... {Window size x} ..... ^ [you gripped here on the title bar] So you would need to release your "grip" on the titlebar and "grip" it again in the middle, move your mouse pointer (drag) to the left, and continue this until you can see the desired close button. You could also "grip" the window's title bar closer to the right of the screen from the very start and then move your pointer from the right edge to the left edge. In one "drap and drop" you have moved the window the the left the distance of the monitor! Once you see the edge you previously could not, "grip" its edge and move your mouse to the left (but not all the way or you will loose sight of the titlebar! - half an inch is safe), drag the window back to the right a little and repeat until you can see all of the window on your monitor. IMPORTANT NOTE: I assume, unless otherwise stated, that you are experiencing no other difficulties with your system performance or windows functionality. |
