| | Re: Changing window size Hi, After it opens, click the square at upper right to move from full screen mode to resizable mode, or right click the header bar of the window and choose "restore". Then place the cursor at the lower right corner of the window and grab it by left clicking and holding. Move the mouse to resize the window. Alternately you can place the cursor at any side until the double arrow appears and then drag it left/right/up/down as needed. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Caspar's Mom" <CasparsMom@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:3D9A9DE8-9C60-4A4F-99A0-864B21AE4012@xxxxxx Quote: > When I open a document, spreadsheet or file folder, it opens maximized.
