When I open a document, spreadsheet or file folder, it opens maximized. I
cannot resize the window (and according to HELP, a window size cannot be
changed like it usually can if the window is minimized or maximized. How do
I get it to open in a size that can be resized? Thanks!

Hi,

After it opens, click the square at upper right to move from full screen
mode to resizable mode, or right click the header bar of the window and
choose "restore". Then place the cursor at the lower right corner of the
window and grab it by left clicking and holding. Move the mouse to resize
the window. Alternately you can place the cursor at any side until the
double arrow appears and then drag it left/right/up/down as needed.
