Hi guys,

I have installed Office Plus Pro 2007 on a XP pro machine, when the user
starts word, the minimised window appears. I want word to start in full
window, maximised on the screen. Any ideas?

Right-click on the shortcut used to start Word and choose Properties. On the
Shortcut tab, you can set how you want the application to start. If you
*can't* choose this (the shortcuts installed by the application itself
sometimes can't be customized), create your own shortcut that can be
customized. Search for winword.exe (you'll have to tell Windows to include
hidden and system files in the search). When you find it, right-click,
choose Create Shortcut, and drag the resulting shortcut to the desktop,
Start menu, or Quick Launch toolbar. Then customize as desired.
