Word 2007 File Open Window will not minimize
This just started recently - whenever I select File Open, the Open window
is maximized and I can't find a way to resize or minimize it. If I try and drag the bottom right corner the drag "spot" disappears. Double clicking on the title bar doesn't work either. Then after several tries Word often stops responding - closes and reopens. If I double click the title bar the window pops down smaller and then pops right back up to max again. |

Double-click the title bar in the dialog box to restore it.

I said in my original post that double-clicking the title bar doesn't work.
It pops to go smaller and immediately pops to max again without stopping. "Beth Melton" wrote: Double-click the title bar in the dialog box to restore it.

Sorry, I missed reading that part. Does the issue occur if you start Word in
Safe Mode? Hold Ctrl while starting Word and continue holding Ctrl until you are prompted to start in Safe Mode. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

I just tried that. Nothing happens. When I go into SAFE MODE and go into
Safe Mode, if I double click the Title Bar - nothing happens. Marcia "Beth Melton" wrote: Sorry, I missed reading that part. Does the issue occur if you start Word in Safe Mode?

That's odd. Did you try starting Windows in Safe Mode? It could be a display
issue. Also note, the Open dialog box can be resized - perhaps it's been sized to fit the screen? Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
