Multiple windows in various sizes and locations - without always r
I hope someone can help me out. I just bought a big widescreen monitor to
have lots of space to work with. I have an excel window and a work window opened and stacked on top of each other on the right on the screen. Now everytime I open another word document, it opens to the same size as the first window I have open. I would like to have it open to the remaining screen space I have left, and in the correct location. Is there a way I can do this? I hope I made myself clear enough. |

Multiple windows in various sizes and locations - without alwa
Hi Johm - Thanks for the response. I tried what you suggested and that is
handy to know about, but it doesn't really do what I would like it to do. Your suggestion basically splits the windows I have open evenly either verticall or horizontally. What I would like to be able to do is have one word doc open in the bottom left corner of my screen, say 5" x 5". On top of that I have an excel doc open in the same size. To the left in the remainer of my screen say 12" x 12" I would like to have another word doc open. As I work on the large document, I update the excel doc and the other word doc. Once I close the larger sized word doc I would like to be able to open another and have it open in the same size and place as the large one I just closed. If I can't do this, then I have to keep resizing the document to fit the space everytime I open a new document. The task that I'm working on required me to open around 50 new word docs in that larger remaining space on my desktop. It takes a lot of extra time and bother to resize every one. What I was hoping to find is a setting in Word 2003 (The professional or Office version) that would open new documents in a window the same size and location as the one I last worked on, and not the same size as the small window in the lower right. If it's possible, I'm guessing that the answer should be found in the Microsoft office software, and not in the OS. "John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macinto" wrote: Yes.

Sorry, the function you really want is not available.
What I sent you to is as good as it gets without doing some complicated programming. You can make an application to do this (obviosuly) but it has to be a real Windows application that can find all the other windows you have open, measure them, then work out how much screen space you have left. Easy if you're a Windows programmer, but I couldn't do it. Sorry... On 20/1/07 7:33 AM, in article , "Turk-E" wrote: Hi Johm - Thanks for the response.
