Mac Forum / Applications / Word / June 2007screen zoom resize problem
Dear All, Simple problem - hopefully there's a simple fix. When I open any document (new or existing), it leaves a gap of about 1" below the (Mac) menu bar. I then have to drag the document to resize. Not a problem once or twice a day, but I tend to open dozens of documents a day and it can get tedious. note: I invariably use the same computer and screen - Mac PBG4 with 17" screen. I use 'online layout' view so that I don't have to see page breaks. I also use a macro to open new documents in this view. thanks in advance. Open your Normal template, fix it, add and remove a single letter from the text (e.g. A space) then Save and Close. should be OK after that...

Watching closely, I've noticed that documents open at the correct full screen size and stay that way for an instant, then they're being re- sized. It's as though a macro were running to change them. So, I've deleted all my macros to make sure it wasn't one of them causing the problem. Still stuck. dg Further testing: the previous observation only applies after I've open 'normal,' fixed the size, made and deleted a change, saved, quit. Then when I reboot Word (X service release 1), the first document opens at full size for an instant, before being mysteriously 're-sized'. Subsequent openings are all immediately at the smaller size. I think I've found the problem. I had a custom toolbar which I'd moved to the top right hand corner of the screen. The documents are re- sizing themselves to dodge the toolbar. (I can hear Homer Simpson's catchphrase ringing in my ears). Wow! Nice catch!! That's one I didn't think of :-) Well done Homer :-) Hand me a Duff :-) On 29/6/07 12:26 PM, in article 1183083989.407950.197010@i38g2000prf.googlegroups.com, "brinded" <cktwr@yahoo.com> wrote: > I think I've found the problem.
