This also happened for me when I first started using a Mac. I made a window full-size with the expand arrow in the upper right hand corner. That was easy. Oh, wait - how do I get it to go back down? There was not a resize-smaller arrow that I could see. So, after learning 72 new curse words, and screaming them loudly at the Mac for a little over an hour, I had to swallow my pride, and call a Mac user friend. When I asked how to resize the expanded window he started laughing. lol Then he told me to place my cursor anywhere at the top of the page. It makes a drop-down menu with a make-smaller arrow. Or do like Eric explained: Fn+F11 Are we having fun yet? :-Don
