How can I return to a split screen set-up?

While I was away on business, a co-worker shared my computer and somehow changed the appearance of my inbox to a full screen. I want to return to the split screen which allows me to see my e-mails and read the highlighted one in the split screen format I had originally.

You say that pressing F8 does not turn on the Message Pane? You are in the main window with your Inbox showing right?

From the Menu Bar select View-Layout. is Message Pane checked?

No Menu Bar? Press the alt key.

If it is checked and still no message pane showing, maybe it got dragged off the bottom of the screen. Move your mouse down toward the bottom margin of the screen and watch for it to change to a double headed arrow. When it does click and drag up to see if you can pull up the message pane.

Turn on the Message Pane. Press F8.

Sorry for the error in protocol. Your suggestion to go to the bottom of the screen until I got the double arrow and drag up worked. Problem solved. You learn something every day. I greatly appreciate your help.
