Default Start Word in Maximised state

I have Word 2003 running on XP Pro SP2.

Word 2003 is pinned to my Start Menu and, when I look at the properties of
the Word Icon, it is set to Run Maximised. When I start Word (using this
icon), it creates a new document but it's minimised to the Taskbar rather
than in the maximised state.

Does anyone know why this happens and how I can get it to work as I want?

First step is probably to check you have all Windows and Office updates
installed.

Hmmm. I think it's a registry setting, but I don't know anything about those
I'm afraid. Sorry :-(

Depending on how you start Word, find the Shortcut and right click it, then
click Properties. Look for the Run window - the drop down box gives you
choices for how it opens including maximized.
