Resizing A Dialog Box Diana 12/30/2008 6:10:02 PM Hello, I'm using Word in Office Professional 2007. When I click on Change Tracking Options, the Track Changes Options dialog box appears but the bottom of the box extends below my computer screen (i.e. it's too long for my screen), cutting off some of the options and the Apply and OK buttons. I tried moving it up but it won't move up enough to make the bottom of the box appear. How do I resize it to make it fit in my screen? Thanks, Diana

The only suggestion I can make is to go into the Windows Control Panel, click Display, and temporarily set the screen resolution higher while you set the options you want. (You must currently have the resolution set low, as the whole dialog box fits on screen at 1024 x 768.) I think you'll have to restart Word each time you change the resolution so it will recognize the change. -- 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.

Re: Resizing A Dialog Box Diana 12/30/2008 8:32:39 PM Thank you, that worked. I have a laptop with a larger screen so my setting is 1024 x 600. 728 is a bit small and looks strange.
