Word 2007 in Win7 - window keeps changing size

J

I'm running Word 2007 on my Win7 Ultimate x64 system. The window for my word
document keeps changing size. I will set the window to cover 1/2 of the horz
width and the full height of my screen.
1) When I close word and reopen it is about half the height of my screen and
less than 1/2 the width of my screen plus the window is offset from the last
position.
2) I resize and position the window, click on something in the TOC, word
advances to the correct location but at the same time it will resize my
window to half of the vertical screen height.
3) If I've used the auto shake function in Win7 (drag the window by the
title bar to the far left of my screen and release) the window is properly
sized, but again it I click on something in the TOC, word goes to the correct
location, window is reduced in size and most of the window is off to the left
edge of my screen. Sometimes when this happens I go through MS Hell trying to
reposition my window, e.g. it remains stuck mostly off of my screen. Grabbing
the title bar does not work. I must grab the right-edge of the window, drag
it to the right, now I can grab the title bar and position my window and then
resize the window.
4) Other actions seem to also cause the window to change size

Does anybody know how to stop this madness?

I may have some insight into this problem. I was experiencing the same problem. One of my co-workers pointed out that the page orientation was changed from vertical to landscape part way through the document I had open. I noticed after clicking on a TOC link that the new window is shorter and wider than the original window. I think this may be the source of the problem. I don't have a solution other than using one page orientation in each document.
