Updated: 08/16/2021 by Computer Hope
A document window is a section of the screen used to display the contents of a document file on a GUI (graphical user interface) operating system. Below is an example of a document window in the Microsoft Word software word processor program.
Tip
When in a new document window or when editing an editable document a blinking text cursor indicates the insertion point. When you start typing, text is inserted at this point.
