I'm not sure what you mean by maximize the window. What are you
trying to accomplish?
If you want text edit to be the only item vissible on the screen,
then use hide others (in the text edit menu, usually command-shift-h)
This should move all other running applications out of the viewing
area, leaving just text edit in the foreground. I'm told this
doesn't always work, but when it does, it frees the screen of
clutter, making it easier for sighted folks to help you find things
on the screen.
If you're trying to make the window as large as possible, then use
the zoom option it's available under the window menu, though it
doesn't have a keystroke tied to it by default, though if it's
something you use regularly, you can assign one of your choosing to
it via the keyboard shortcuts panel in preferences. There's no exact
windows equivalent of maximize the window, so that it takes up the
whole screen, because even the zoom option only makes the window a
little larger, but from what I've been told, it still doesn't cover
the entire viewing area, though it does make things a bit larger for
those who can't see it clearly, or if you have a bunch of windows
open, and your sighted helper can't tell which one you're on, it does
serve to point out where you are.
Especially if you have a lot of windows open, it can be difficult to
pinpoint which one you're currently using sometimes.
