    If windows are sliders or swing out there are 2 ways u can do this. It is what is appealing to your eye that counts.

    1st method is to cut a 45 degree return in crown molding at trim.

    2nd method= cut window trim to bottom of crown molding.

    Install 1'' wood stock 1/8'' lower then bottom of crown molding in window area.

    Install continuance crown molding.

    Good luck
