How can I reset "save as" screen to come up small, not full screen

[elylea]

I unknowingly did something that has caused a change in how the "save as"
window comes up when trying to save a Word document. Now, it comes up in a
full-screen view when before the view was small. In this full-screen view
one can't grab the lower corner to shrink the screen to the desired size.
This problem is only occurring within Word, not with any other programs.

What did I do and how can I change it back to a smaller view?

Thank you!

Double-click on the title bar (at the top).

After 15 years of use, I never knew about this simple action. Thank You!

Well, it's a relatively recent innovation (possibly introduced as recently
as Word 2002). There are several dialogs that are resizable; you can tell
which ones by the diagonal lines in the bottom right corner. Those that are
resizable can also be maximized by double-clicking the title bar. I find
this especially helpful for the Select Recipients dialog in a mail merge.

Me either. I think I got it from Suzanne. (And I went to St. Louis for
the weekend, and the hotel had free WiFi only in the lobby, and one
can only run off the battery for so long!)

And I'm not sure when I picked it up, but I'm sure I learned it here in
these NGs.
