    Change Window Size

    I want to fix Vista, Widows Mail , Spell Check. But first:
    Fix suggests going to 'Tools/Options/Spelling' - and change Language, then
    return to English.

    MY PROBLEM:
    Page, however, fills screen so that choices of 'OK/Cancel/Apply' are not
    available, that is, I can't get there from there.

    Yes, I tried moving screen up. Yes, I relocated ToolBar to the side.

    I see nothing but the page and a large (useless) amount of blank, page
    space, unable to get far enough down to see or click upon
    'OK/Cancel/Apply'.

    Drat! Seems others can do. DUH! What do I need to do?



    Thanx in advance,
    Chuck-

    Couple of things to try. Use the Tab key to move to the part of the window
    that is not visible.
    Increase your screen resolution so that more things are visible.

    Gary:
    Curses! No movement with Tab. Can't change to higher Screen Resolution as
    my HP Laptop is 'fixed' at highest now @ 1280 x 800.

    Rainy Day Project - Hook up my old, 17" Desktop Monitor to Laptop and try
    again?

    Thanks for speedy response )

    Strange that the Tab key did not work.
    That particular window takes up only 2/3 of the screen height on
    my 15.4" widescreen laptop with 1280 x 800 resolution.

    Gary:

    OK, ---EUREKA! I got it. Tried again. I kept Tabbing down, blind, figuring
    it would first move down the full page sheet to the unseen "OK". Then I
    zapped it with ENTER.

    We're done. Mission accomplished!

    Thanx again,

    Good to hear. I knew you could make that Tab key work.
