Close button

Clicking the Close button closes the window, taking it off the screen and out of the taskbar as well. To
restart the program in the future, you’ll need to go through whatever procedure you usually perform to
start that program.
Caution When you start creating your own documents, be aware that closing a
program closes the document as well. If you don’t save your work before
closing the program, all that work will be lost! You’ll learn about creating and
saving documents in Chapter 3.
Sizing pad
The sizing pad in the lower-right corner of the window enables you to size the window. Just point to the
sizing pad, and then drag it outward to enlarge the window, or inward to shrink the window. You can
actually size a window by dragging any edge or any corner of the window. The sizing pad just provides
for a slightly larger target on which to rest the mouse pointer.
Menu bar
Many windows that you open will have a menu bar across the top. The menu bar offers access to all the
features that the program within the window has to offer. When you click on a menu option, a menu
drops down (as in the example shown in Figure 2-4, where I’ve clicked the File menu option in the
WordPad program).
