can not change size of windows for word or excel docs

[jrsemerson]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: Intel

Often when I open an excel or word document it opens in a small window in the upper left corner. i can not resize or enlarge the viewing window. I have tried dragging the lower right corner, toggling the green and yellow buttons on the top left, changing the VIEW and selecting the "FULL SCREEN" optin in the VIEW menu.

It sounds like you've not applied the necessary updates to Office - SP2
(12.2.0) & 12.2.1, and possibly not the OS X 10.6.1 update. Especially if
you're using Spaces the windowing of Office 2008 will be adversely effected.

Confirm your update levels, repair disk permissions & restart.
