Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008How do I stop Word from automatically Resizing my other open document windows?
Every time I have several documents open on my dual monitor setup my first document remains at the proper zoom level for editing, but my other open documents AUTOMATICALLY RESIZE to very narrow windows (zoomed out) that I do not want. I prefer to have several full size doc windows open simultaneously and WORD seems to over ride this when I arrange a few open documents on my desktop. This is driving me nuts!! Does anyone know how to set WORD 2008 up so that it leaves my documents as I set them on my desktop (i.e. not resized automatically?). Thanks Hi Rajish: We are waiting for a bug fix for the peculiar dual-monitor behaviour. After that arrives, the algorithm is that each document will re-open at the size it was last saved. Hope this helps On 1/02/08 2:56 AM, in article ee8b81c.-1@webcrossing.caR9absDaxw, > Every time I have several documents open on my dual monitor setup my first > document remains at the proper zoom level for editing, but my other open [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Thanks  SignatureDon't wait for your answer, click here: http://www.word.mvps.org/ Please reply in the group.

This even happens when I have only one document open. I also am using dual monitors. Any idea of how soon a bug fix will be available. Rajish is right
IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS! Thank you. P.S. That was a question
Any idea of how soon a bug fix will be available? Thanks! Hello Shelley, When John McGhie said "We are waiting for a bug fix for the peculiar dual-monitor behaviour", "we" meant "the volunteers, who are not Microsoft employees, who congregate here". "We" don't know. Sorry. And if someone from Microsoft made a prediction and did not meet the prediction, the odd bit of gnashing of teeth foaming at the mouth would eventuate. So I don't expect you'll hear till it actually comes out. In your situation, if it's a serious impediment I'd be re-installing Office 2004. It can co-exist with 2008 -- check some of the threads here on which it has been discussed. Clive Huggan ============ On 11/3/08 7:46 AM, in article ee8b81c.2@webcrossing.caR9absDaxw, > P.S.

That may resolve the issue. We will just have to wait and see. Cheers On 11/3/08 6:16 AM, in article ee8b81c.2@webcrossing.caR9absDaxw, > P.S. That was a question

They will do a "Staged" roll-out on AutoUpdate to avoid bogging down the server. I would assume they will release "blocks" of IP addresses over the next week or so.

I understand that the fix for Spaces is waiting on a fix from Apple as well.
