Deborah,
what about:
"To open a new Job window, double-click an entry in the Summary window."
Concise and to the point (I think).

Subject: Some Help With Re-phrasing
Hi,
I'm having a problem with correct wording. I'm trying to convert
a passive-voice document to active voice. Here's the phrase I'm
having trouble with:
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.
