Remember previous window size?

[Abel MacAdam]

Hi,

At work my Word (2003) window at one moment has the size of an Outlook mail
message. When I enlarge the Word window to fill the size of my screen, my
Outlook messages will be filling the screen.

Is there a way where the size of Window is independent of the size of my
Outlook mail message?

This sounds like a question for the experts in MS Office:

How is this helping me? Is this not the newsgroup XP General? Is not the
behaviour of windows an operating system specific behaviour? And you direct
me to the Office newsgroups?

 

[Ron Badour]

You asked about the specific behavior of two Office products. This
newsgroup is about Windows XP--not Office. Would you take a Ford to a Chevy
dealer to fix a problem that happens only on Ford products? If you ask
questions in the right newsgroup, you enhance your chances of getting good
answers. If you don't want to ask in an Office newsgroup, take your chances
here.

Well I am interested in the answer to this question. And I am not running MS
Office! But Windows in general and non-application specific. The only trick
I know is once you get the window the size you want, hold the shift key and
use the pointer to close the window. And Windows is suppose to remember the
size of the window, but it doesn't work well for many applications. This was
an old trick back in the Windows 3.1 or was it Windows 95 days. I don't know
if it still applies today.

Ah, a comparison. I thought I asked a question about typical Ford behaviour.
As an example I talked about an Escort. The first thing I got was a reference
to an Escort dealer, while I thought what I was asking was Ford specific.
Therefore I choose for a Ford dealer, and not the dinky toy dealer who sells
only Escorts. But if the Ford dealer (you) is not able to help me, I might
need to consider to drop the Ford car, and turn to a Chevy. Your choice.

Bill,

Thanks for your insightful input. This was something I wanted to get.
