Window<Number>

Syntax:

Window<Number>

Example:

The following macro activates a window listed on the Window menu. Window1 activates the first window in the list, Window2 activates the second window, and so on through Window9. If no windows are listed, or if <Number> is greater than the number of windows listed, an error occurs which is ignored.

NOTE: You cannot use a variable in place of <Number>; you must use an integer.
