I suspect that you pressed Alt+W, H by accident. This hides the window.

HansVogelaar THis was helpful, but I hit ALT+H+W intentionally because it says it is a shortcut for wrap text.

hutchicd I just did the same thing so I'm grateful for this post. I just realized we need to press and release the keys one at a time in order (not holding the keys down). I tried holding alt, H, and W all at the same time. I'm guessing when I released the keys, I lifted up on the W before the H and that's what screwed everything up. Lesson learned.

Alt+H, W is not the same as Alt+W, H
