Finding out which applications are open

If you have several applications and windows open, you can find out which application is active and
which other applications are open by opening the Application menu.

Switching applications

You can switch to another open application by choosing its name from the Application menu.

If an application’s icon is dimmed in the menu, that means its windows are hidden. If you choose the
application from the Application menu, its windows become visible.

You can also switch to another application by clicking in one of its windows or by double-clicking its
icon or the icon of a document that was created with the application.

Hiding and showing windows on the desktop

You can hide all windows except those of the active application by choosing Hide Others from the
Application menu. The other applications remain open even though their windows are hidden. When
you switch to another application, its windows become visible again.

When an application is active, its name is displayed in the Application menu next to the word “Hide.”
Choose the Hide command to temporarily hide the application’s open windows. (This helps to quickly
clear up a cluttered screen.) For example, if the Finder is active, you can hide it by choosing Hide
Finder from the Application menu.

If you want to see all the open windows, choose Show All from the Application menu.
