Getting Started with Excel
FIGURE 4.1
You can open several Excel workbooks at the same time.

The workbook windows that Excel uses work much like the windows in any other Windows program. Each
window has three buttons at the right side of its title bar. From left to right, they are Minimize, Maximize
(or Restore), and Close. When a workbook window is maximized, the three buttons appear directly below
Excel’s title bar.
Excel’s windows can be in one of the following states:
n Maximized: Fills Excel’s entire workspace. A maximized window doesn’t have a title bar, and the
workbook’s name appears in Excel’s title bar. To maximize a window, click its Maximize button.
n Minimized: Appears as a small window with only a title bar. To minimize a window, click its
Minimize button.
n Restored: A nonmaximized size. To restore a maximized or minimized window, click its Restore
button.
If you work with more than one workbook simultaneously (which is quite common), you have to know
how to move, resize, and switch among the workbook windows.
