When I used to work with WP there was a way to remove all menus from the
screen so that a person had 100% of the screen to work with. Is that feature
available with MS W 2007? Any help would be appreciated.

Office Button | Word Options | Customize | All Commands | Full Screen
Reading.

Not a simple Full Screen toggle as in previous versions, but I suppose you
can add this command (?) to the QAT. OTOH, there is neither a ViewFullScreen
nor a FullScreen command under All Commands in Tools | Customize in Word
2003 (though it does appear in the View category), so it may not be
available as a command in Word 2007, either.

The closest you have is the Full Screen Reading view. It's on the View
buttons at the bottom right corner of the screen next to the Zoom Slider.

Make sure you check out the View options for Full Screen Reading view, for
example you can show a single page, show it as it would look when printed,
ect.

The only other alternative is to use a macro for this, the old Full Screen
view is still available but only accessible through the object model. Here's
the macro:

Sub FullScreenView()
With ActiveWindow
.View.FullScreen = True
.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitTextFit
End With
End Sub

Note you need to press Esc to close the Full Screen view.

No, sorry. Neither of these suggestions accomplish what is needed. What is
desired is to be able to work with a full screen without all of the real
estate gobbled up by menus, etc. Thanks for the try

Ctrl+F1 hides the ribbon. If you then put the QAT above the ribbon
tabs (sharing space with the title bar), you have only two rows of
stuff at the top, a total of maybe 40 pixels, plus the status bar at
the bottom. If you also let the Windows taskbar autohide, the active
page occupies more than 90% of the screen depth. That's as good as
it's going to get.

I suspect you didn't try my macro method. :-)

In doing so, all you see is the document on the screen, perhaps a small area
to the left and right of the document, and nothing else.

I am ashamed to admit that I did not. Have worked with Word Perfect for over
20 years and am tying to convert to Word. Never was much good with macros in
WP. I figured it would take a rocket scientist to do this one ... or at
least a little more help from someone in this group. (smile)

Well then why didn't you ask? ;-)

To use the macro follow these steps:
- In Word, click the Microsoft Office Button and then click Word Options
- In the Popular section, turn on Show Developer tab in the Ribbon
- Click OK to close Word Options and apply the change
- On the Developer tab, click Macros
- In the Macro Name text box, type FullScreenView (no spaces allowed)
- Make sure the Macros In list reflects "Normal.dotm (global template)"
- Click Create
- Copy the lines from below:

With ActiveWindow
.View.FullScreen = True
.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitTextFit
End With

- Paste the copied lines between Sub FullScreenView and End Sub
- From the File menu, click Close and Return to Microsoft Office Word

To add the macro to your Quick Access Toolbar:
- Click the More button (down pointing arrow) at the end of your QAT and
then click More Commands
- From the "Choose commands from" list, select macros
- Select the macro, FullScreenView and click Add to add it to your QAT
- Use the Modify command to modify the icon and ScreenTip, if desired.
- Click OK to close Word Options
- Try the macro.
