+====== WINDOW Function ======
-Like all [[:Functions|Functions]], it can be used _only_ in a [[:Text_Fields#Numeric_Fields|numeric calculation field]].
+The WINDOW() function returns the desired coordinate of the specified window, and can have one or two parameters.
 ====== Usage ======
-  - **`WINDOW(Coordinate)`**
+  - WINDOW(Coordinate)
-    - The `Index` is assumed to be the window of the Action in which the `WINDOW()` function is used (like the [Manipulate a Window](action:Manipulate a Window)), \\ OR, the frontmost window if the Action does not refer to a window.
+  - WINDOW(Index, Coordinate)
-  - **`WINDOW(Index, Coordinate)`**
-    - With two parameters, the first parameter specifies which window in the front application to operate on.
+With two parameters, the first parameter specifies which window in the front application to operate on. With only one parameter, the *Index* is assumed to be the window of the Action in which the *WINDOW()* function is used (like the [[action:Manipulate_a_Window|Manipulate a Window]] action), or the frontmost window if the Action does not refer to a window.
 ====== Parameters ======
+The first parameter, *Index*, which is optional, may be:
-The first parameter, `Index`, which is optional, may be:
 * 0: the frontmost window of the frontmost app.
 * Positive Number: the indexed window from front to back.
 * Negative Number: the indexed window from back to front.
-* If this parameter is _not_ provided, then it is assumed to be the window of the Action in which the `WINDOW()` function is used, \\ OR, the frontmost window if the Action does not refer to a window.
 The second parameter, `Coordinate`, specifies the desired *coordinate* to be returned, and can be:
