I have recently moved over from CS2 on PC to CS3 in MAC – I used to be able to open a file and it would open up in a full window filling the whole screen – now it opens up in a box with no surrounding space. When I maximize the minute I tap cmd + the widow reduces to minimize and just zooms into a part of the file. I am sure this is basic stuff but any help out there please??

gratefully

That’s the difference between Macs and Windows. Windows opens applications in a… Window.

Try hitting the F key and see if that works for you.

But in CS4 it’s OPTIONAL!

(Ad it is turned "off" by default too.
