I have no explanation for Word's ignoring the Run setting, no. It has always
worked for me.

Hi Suzanne,

I already tried that and that doesn't seem to work. When I "first" start
up
Word it is always full screen. If I click the restore button at the upper
right it goes to normal window and if I close Word and reopen it will stay
at
normal window which is good, but my complaint is that when I "first" start
it
after I turn on the computer in the morning. Am I being too picky or is
this
just another Microsoft "feature"? Thanks for the reply.

Right-click the shortcut you use to start Word and choose Properties. On
the
Shortcut tab, choose "Normal window" for "Run."

When I first start up "Word", I want it to be in a normal window
instead
of
full screen. I tried some settings in Options but I still can't figure
this
out. Thank you.
