Insert symbol dialogue box

D

Don Q

For apparently no reason the Insert symbol dialogue box now fills the entire
screen which makes entries somewhat tiresome. How do I restore the default
size or do I have to re-install Word?

Hi Don Q

If this is a recent version of Word, you can re-size the dialog box. You
have two basic controls, just as you do with any window. You can
double-click the blue bar at the top of the dialog box to toggle between
displaying in a full-screen and "window". When the dialog is showing as a
window, you can drag the the corners or edges of the window to re-size it.

Hope this helps.

Wow! Thanks for this Don Q and Shauna. I had not realized that the Symbol
dialog was one of the resizable ones. If this is also true in FP, it will be
a big help.

Yes, I already tested this in FP. I've reluctantly started composing in FP,
where I really miss Word's AutoFormat and keyboard shortcuts for special
characters, of which I'm having to insert a lot because I'm writing about
Japanese subjects; just having more characters visible in the MRU list will
be a big help.
