Its easier to follow step by step instructions if you can see the steps side by side and apply them at the same time. Internet windows can be customized to do that, rather than toggling back and forth re-opening windows in full view screen taking more time to re-read, access another window, re-read or review to be sure steps are done properly. Follow these steps to help see steps and apply at the same time. Capital letters are used for emphasis and may not appear as such on the screen.

• While the cursor has changed to the line with two arrows at the end, hold the left mouse key button, or only mouse button, down and Drag your mouse different directions to see how it changes the size.

Change the view inside the window

• On the Internet window, the lower right corner may show a magnify glass with a percent number.

If windows overlaps.
Depending on how you change the size of the window, the windows may overlap. Whichever is the current window you’re working on, it will be the one in front. Readjust the window size and refer back to the above steps: “Changing the size of the Window.”
