Start Word in Maximised state Popeye 10.08.2006 19:45:01 I have Word 2003 running on XP Pro SP2. Word 2003 is pinned to my Start Menu and, when I look at the properties of the Word Icon, it is set to Run Maximised. When I start Word (using this icon), it creates a new document but it's minimised to the Taskbar rather than in the maximised state. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can get it to work as I want?

RE: Start Word in Maximised state Popeye 11.08.2006 07:31:01 Thank you. My Windows and Office updates are all current.

RE: Start Word in Maximised state aneasiertomorrow 11.08.2006 07:40:02 Hmmm. I think it's a registry setting, but I don't know anything about those I'm afraid.

Depending on how you start Word, find the Shortcut and right click it, then click Properties. Look for the Run window - the drop down box gives you choices for how it opens including maximized. Pop
