Pearson sims: can't find the Okay button to close panes

I can't close panes in Pearson simulations because there is no Okay button! Help!

Don't panic! This is a common problem for users of small-screened laptops such as ThinkPads. It is also affected by your operating system. ThinkPads can come with Windows 10, Fedora (Linux), OS/2 (IBM and Windows collab), or ChromeOS. For MS Office courses, you would ideally use Windows OS or Mac OS. Please reach out if you are running ChromeOS or any Linux derivative.


The button is hidden because the simulation screen area extends past your screen boundaries. Try grabbing the pane and dragging it up to bring the button on-screen. If you cannot get the button into a clickable zone, you can try the Escape (esc) key on your keyboard. If that also does not work, please take a screenshot for me and move onto the next simulation.
