[Word] Word 2003: Need urgent help - Word Help Screen Expanded and will not collapse or move or resize - don't know why but...

[Ron Solecki]

No, I never tried that.  It's always been a seen, maximized, or unseen
situation. I didn't try cascade because I haven't used it in years.  I
typically have many windows opened and sized/placed where I want them.  So
in my normal situation Cascade would mess more up than it would help.  BUT,
since when I have this problem I end up having to shut everything else down
before running the batch file I have setup with the cleanup command, using
cascade first would be an advantage.

Actually, I think the problem is a symptom of running both Word 2003 and
2007 on the same userid.  Running them both is "unnatural", not a situation
that MS planned on, so I could see how some little quirk slipped past the
programmers.

I'll give it a try and let you know.
