I want Word & Excel to open maximized.

For some reason, when I open Word or Excel, the windows are not automatically
maximized. They used to be, and I don't know why they aren't any more. How
can I fix this? It's not a big deal, it's just aggravating.

Now we know why you have high BP :)

Seriously, if you maximize the window before closing Word/Excel, next time
it should open maximized...

Is there any macro running while opening Word/Excel.

If you can play around with registry then check the following
1.To open Registry Editor -
Click on Start|Run|Regedit

2.Navigate to the following Key -
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Options]
or
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options]
depending upon your Excel version

3.Look for "Maximized"
Change the value to 00000003 to open Excel maximized.

There should be a similar setting for Word... search for Maximized... (F3)
If the problem persists then there is something which is resetting this
value or overriding the behaviour...
