MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / September 2004File Menu drop down pages
Somehow, I did something which causes the pages opened from the File Menu drop down list to show as full pages instead of smaller boxes on top of open documents. I haven't been able to figure out how to undo it. Does anybody know? They're opening as Maximized instead of Restored (in a Normal window)? Do you have Word set to run Maximized?  SignatureSuzanne S.

But I don't know if there's a settng somewhere that controls a default option. I usually run all pages in word, excel and browsers fully maximized, but never had this problem before. By the way, what ever I did, also effect Excel as well. >-----Original Message----- >They're opening as Maximized instead of Restored (in a Normal window)? Do [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >. If you're running the program maximized, then naturally every document is going to appear maximized, since each opens in its own window. SignatureSuzanne S.

It's the Save As and the Open windows that you click on from the File drop down menu that are maximized. >-----Original Message----- >If you're running the program maximized, then naturally every document is [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > >. When you said "pages opened from the File menu," I assumed you meant the MRU docs at the bottom of the menu. To restore the Save As and Open dialogs, double-click on the title bar. Once restored, they can be resized with the mouse like any other Normal window. SignatureSuzanne S.

I knew it was something simple, but if you don't know it, it might as well not exist. I hadn't been able to track down that solution to resizing windows in any help menu.

I learned about it here! SignatureSuzanne S.
