Word 2003 Open files? removing all headers and footers 11/14/2008 8:20:05 PM In word 2003, suddenly the open files dialog box has shrunk to one quarter screen size, and it used to be full screen size. How do I get it back? Rebooting and going in and out of Word does not help. Where is the setting for this box? And is there a way to get the list files dialog to come up every time with the newest files always at the top and with "details" as the template mode? thanks, Joe

To maximize/restore it, however, double-click the title bar. -- Suzanne S.

Or, to make it maximized, double-click anywhere in its title bar. To answer your other question, right-click in a blank area of the file list and choose View > Details. Then click the column header that says "Date modified". If that puts it in oldest-first order, click the header again to reverse the list. It should stay that way until you change it to something else. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
