window is off screen

[Meebers]

Had to look up some 2007 Tax filing stuff today. Back then this computer
had two monitors. By default, the tax stuff was sent to the second monitor,
it disappears off of the screen now and I cannot look at it. Multiple
dragging attemps did not work, thought there was a "key sequence" or ?? to
make all windows return to the main monitor??

With two monitors connected 'drag' the stuff on #2 back to #1 - then you can
stop using #2 monitor.

Right-click the Taskbar, click "Cascade windows", and I believe that
will bring them back to the one monitor.

Choose the off-screen window with Alt-Tab.
Then hit Alt-Space and then "M".
Then use the arrow keys to drag the window back into your current
window.

..Click on the application in the Task Bar
..Press Alt + SPACEBAR
..Press M
..Use the arrow keys to move the application back into the viewing area (this
part consists of random trial-and-error)
..When the window is where you want it, press ENTER
