Word disappears in restore mode "M Skabialka" <mskabialka[ at ]NOSPAMdrc.com> 12.07.2006 13:09:48 I am trying to open Word 2003 on a new dual monitor system that has been running fine for a couple of weeks. I see Word open but then it flies off to the left, beyond my left screen. If I maximize Word from the Taskbar I can use it on my left monitor, but if I restore it down it flies off to the left. You can't move an application to the other monitor in maximize mode. How do I get Word in restore mode to appear within my monitor screen boundaries? Maxing out my screen resolution doesn't help. Selecting Move from the TaskBar doesn't help as I think you have to be able to see the application to move it. Thanks, Mich

Re: Word disappears in restore mode "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 12.07.2006 22:47:08 Move should be available when a Normal window is open, that is, when the Taskbar button offers Minimize and Maximize but not Restore. Another approach is to open any other window, then right-click on the Taskbar and choose Cascade. This should bring the window back in view. -- Suzanne S.
