Hi,
Pressing control N opens what generally is called a new document. If I've
cleared the previous document from the screen but left Word running with
just its menu line, status bar and tool bar still framing the screen, to me,
*that* is the one and only window involved. So when I press Control N to
start a new document, or load a preexisting document using the Open (control
O or Files menu) command, then a new document appears in the empty window,
ready for editing. I don't know what this has to do with parent windows and
child windows. I have a feeling it refers to some way in which I don't
ordinarily use Word. Hope someone will explain accurately
thank you. I believe this is not at all unrelated to Jaws, because, unable
to see the screen clearly, I have only Jaws with which to interpret what's
on it as I hear Jaws speak the program's announcements to me. That's a
pretty intimate connection.

I know that this isn't Jaws, but what on earth is a child window? Is that
the window that comes up when you hit ctrl+n in Word?
