Resize "Note" from full-screen size

[Kathy L]

The "Notes" in my Outlook are all opening full screen size. I've tried
resizing with resize corner (lower left) but it seems to be totally out of
range. Is there any other way to shrink note?

Not sure if this will work, but it works with normal windows.

Shrink the window to the desired size
Press and hold the Ctrl key while you close the window

For normal program windows, this designates the opening size for a "normal"
window. Obviously windows that are designed to open Maximized or Minimized
are exempt from this process.

See if that works?

Can't shrink the window--the shrink corner is out of range
Thanks.

If the window shrink corner is out of range, is it possible to bump up your
resolution so you can shrink the window and then put the resolution back?

resolution is at highest 1024X768. So can't raise it. Thanks.

Have you tried double-clicking the title bar to display the window full size?

 

[Kathy L]

Yay!!! Thanks so much, that was the solution. How did you learn that?

 

[Kathy L]

Double-clicking did the trick --Thank you! I never learned that one.
You're smart,
Kathy

The follow directions can be found in the tool drop down list in the menu bar.

Change the default color, font, and size for new notes you create

On the Tools menu, click Options.
Click Note Options.
Select the options you want."

There is one problem. It doesn't work once you have chosen the Large Note
selection, you cannot get it to resize to small which was the default size.
I also cannot find any help at Microsoft to give me the answer. I like the
notes and use them all the time but it is aggrevating to have a 17" monitor
with a full screen note.
