Docs open behind toolbar

P

Peter

Anyone know how to make word open a document so that the top
panel with the buttons and file name are not behind the toolbar(s)? I
now have to close all toolbars, move doc down, then reopen toolbar.

Hi Peter,

Your toolbars have become undocked. Move the topmost toolbar down a bit and
then very slowly drag it back into place. When it is almost docked, it
becomes temporarily highlighted with a darker border. Let go of the toolbar
and it should snap into place. It's a little tricky but you'll find the
"sweet spot" eventually.

As soon as the toolbar snaps into place, the document window will also snap
into it's normal position below the toolbars.

Try this:
In your menu choose Window --> Arrange all. This will hopefully move the
window so you can grab the title bar.

Shaun,

You don't say what version you are using. In Word 2001, I find this
sometimes occurs with remaining documents when certain documents (usually
created in Windows) have been closed. I get rid of this problem by dragging
any toolbar a couple of millimetres away from its normal position, then
dragging it back again (you'll find when it's ready to drop back into its
original position the toolbar borders will be "highlighted"). But there are
other manifestations in other versions, in addition to this one. I seem to
recall that on quitting Word and opening it back up again the problem has
disappeared, too.
