   Tips:
   1. On the general tollbar at the top of the window, click on the magnifying glass with a box to "Show All".
   2. If that doesn't find it, click on the Window Menu Item to see if you accidently switched a new window. 
      If multiple windows are listed in the middle section of the Window sub-menu, click on the window names to change back to the one you were working in.
   3. If none of the above help, click on the "Undo" left curving arrow.
