How to I restore a Word Documents default screen display settings.

All of a sudden I'm having problems launching MS Office Word 2003 documents.
The documents fail to display on screen but does appear in the Task Bar. If
I right click on the icon in the taskbar I can then select Maximaze to see it
fully on my default monitor but I cannot Restore it down into view again. I
can only work on it fully maximized to my primary screen.

I have a docked Dell notebook with a secondary display running XP. All of
my existing documants are exibiting this new behavior. Any suggestions?

Thanks;

Wil

Word has somehow gotten the location of the restored window set to somewhere
off-screen. To fix it, open Word and one other program such as Notepad,
right-click the taskbar, and choose one of the two Tile options. That will
force each of the programs to take half of the screen. Now you can close the
other program and adjust Word to the size and location you want.
