Restore button only minimizes

[Karl Engel]

Word's gone weird on me. When I open a document a button object for
that document activates in the task bar, but the Word + document
window doesn't pop up. I have to right click on it in the task bar &
choose Maximise to see it. Then the Restore button that should give me
a smaller Word window, instead minimizes the window down to the
taskbar, but leaves it active ("pressed in") unlike the Minimize
command. It's as if the size window it's trying to restore is so small
it can only fit on the taskbar.

It *is* "restored," but the Normal window is offscreen. Open another window,
right-click on the Taskbar, and choose Cascade. Use the mouse to move and
size the Word window to your preference, then quit Word. When you restart
Word, the window should be where you left it.
