Document windows

Document windows are very similar to Finder windows, but they do have a few differences.

You can tell the window below is a document window because in the menu bar across the top of the monitor, just to the right of the apple, is the name of the application in which this document is being created. Pages, a program from Apple is a word processing/page layout applicationmuch more powerful than TextEdit, and a fabulous alternative to Microsoft Word.

Mariner Write is another great word processing application. www.MarinerSoftware.com

Document windows have no Sidebars, but they often have their own Toolbars with buttons and options appropriate to the specific application.

Every document you create will be in its own window.

You can see that the biggest difference between this window and a Finder window is that there is no "Sidebar" on the side.

Just like any Finder window, you can resize a document window by dragging its resize corner (bottom-right), move it by dragging the title bar, scroll through it by dragging a blue scroller or the tiny triangles in the corner, and close it by clicking in the red button. Check it out.
