John, I'm afraid I'm lost here. I don't know what you mean by alt space followed by a dash, a key combinations I've never used. And what's a child? Last, I don't recall ever encountering a situation where my program window and document window didn't coincide. When I had normal vision, I did sometimes take advantage of something like being able to put multiple Word documents onscreen at once and keep them all visible at once in order to compare them or move text from one to the other without losing sight of any one of them. Is this the kind of situation you're alluding to? And where is it that menu items disappear and don't work if you haven't maximized something without knowing you haven't? I never encounter this. I should add that I'm partially sighted in a way that allows me to see the state of a window, so maybe that's why I'm not getting this in a way. thanks for explaining. Sorry for the mistaken advice. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon C.

Alt plus space followed by dash maximizes the child or document window while the former maximizes the outer or program window. Try looking through the view menu by downarrowing through it (sometimes the first time you go through the menu you won't see all the options) this is why I say go through it twice. Look for items such as markup and document pane which may have gotten checked by mistake and hit enter on them. They do not react to the spacebar to toggle but rather are just menu items which change their state with the enter key. Also, check the zoom level on the view menu, it should be set at 100 percent although older versions of JFW required it to be set to 75 percent. Jon C.
