Guest Abel MacAdam Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Hi, At work my Word (2003) window at one moment has the size of an Outlook mail message. When I enlarge the Word window to fill the size of my screen, my Outlook messages will be filling the screen. Is there a way where the size of Window is independent of the size of my Outlook mail message? Abel

Guest Abel MacAdam Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Re: Remember previous window size? How is this helping me? Is this not the newsgroup XP General? Is not the behaviour of windows an operating system specific behaviour? And you direct me to the Office newsgroups? "Ron Badour" wrote: > This sounds like a question for the experts in MS Office: >
Guest Ron Badour Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Re: Remember previous window size? You asked about the specific behavior of two Office products. This newsgroup is about Windows XP--not Office. Would you take a Ford to a Chevy dealer to fix a problem that happens only on Ford products? If you ask questions in the right newsgroup, you enhance your chances of getting good answers. If you don't want to ask in an Office newsgroup, take your chances here. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Abel MacAdam" <AbelMacAdam@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2B796F4B-905F-4DAC-B319-85E3814B8207@microsoft.com... > How is this helping me?

And I am not running MS Office! But Windows in general and non-application specific. The only trick I know is once you get the window the size you want, hold the shift key and use the pointer to close the window. And Windows is suppose to remember the size of the window, but it doesn't work well for many applications. This was an old trick back in the Windows 3.1 or was it Windows 95 days. I don't know if it still applies today. -- Bill Gateway Celeron M 370 (1.5GHZ) MX6124 (laptop) w/2GB Windows XP Home SP2 (120GB HD) Intel® 910GML (64MB shared)
Guest Abel MacAdam Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Re: Remember previous window size? Ah, a comparison. I thought I asked a question about typical Ford behaviour. As an example I talked about an Escort. The first thing I got was a reference to an Escort dealer, while I thought what I was asking was Ford specific. Therefore I choose for a Ford dealer, and not the dinky toy dealer who sells only Escorts. But if the Ford dealer (you) is not able to help me, I might need to consider to drop the Ford car, and turn to a Chevy. Your choice. Bill, Thanks for your insightful input. This was something I wanted to get. Abel "Ron Badour" wrote: > You asked about the specific behavior of two Office products. This > newsgroup is about Windows XP--not Office.
