By and large, Word will open in the view (and with the size window) in which
it was closed, but you can force this by selecting it in the properties of
the shortcut used to start Word, as follows:
1. Right-click on the shortcut you use to start Word (on the desktop,
Programs menu, or QuickLaunch toolbar) and select Properties.
2. Select the Shortcut tab.
3. Select "Maximized" in the Run box.
A word of caution: recent versions of Word create a desktop shortcut whose
properties cannot be modified; if you encounter this problem, you'll need to
create a new shortcut. To do this, search for winword.exe, right-click, and
choose Create Shortcut. Drag that shortcut to the desired location, and then
edit the Properties as above.
