maximize button is minimizing my word document

[stacie]

Whenever I select maximize my word document minimizes to the bottom half of
the screen. When selecting minimize the docment opens to full screen. Does
anyone know why. Also, when in the maiximize mode I am unable to adjust size
or position.

Maybe you have the labels on the buttons mixed up?

When your document is Maximized, you can't change its size. When it's
not full-screen, you can change its size by dragging the edges.

This worked for me!

I previously offered the following suggestion (which had worked
for me) to another poster with the same problem:

"If you are using Word as your email editor in Outlook, try
turning off that feature, Restore Down your Word window, Maximize
your Word window, and then turn on Word as your email editor in
Outlook again."

and he subsequently replied:

"Worked great for me. but i had to turn off Word as Editior,
close outlook, close word, open word, maximize, open outlook,
turn on feature. The only difference was shutting down outlook
for a second. Everything now works fine."

So now you have two possible solutions, both of which have fixed
the problem for different people.
