Deborah Cooper wondered how to convert the passive-voice <<While the
Summary window is displayed, you can double-click any entry shown in
the Summary window. This action causes the system to display a new
Job View window for this job.>>

How about: "When the Summary window is open, you can display a new
Job View window by double-clicking any entry."
