hey Tony as far as I know there is times when a document is opened I.e. word or the internet and say the internet home page is the size of a post card hitting alt and space bar then maximize puts it normal size, when its postcard size jaws might not read everything. as for minimizing I use this to access the icons on the desktop, hitting windows and M when your on the desktop and say hit A would bring you to the icon AVG, its quite useful. I hope this helps yours Jackie ----- Original Message ----- From: tonysweeney To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, July 15, 2007 2:16 AM Subject: [vip_students] Minimising & Maximing Hi All, There has been a great deal of tuition & I trust learning on this wonderful list of late, so I wonder is it time to slow down for just a little for now! Now this is probably a simple one to so do, but could you be so good as to explain with regard to maximising & minimising applications? Why & when should we maximise, & when should we minimise? Thanks. All the best. Tony Sweeney. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
