Why Does Word For Mac Shrink It's Window
Update November 2013: Most of this blog post’s contents apply to Word 2007. In Word 2010, picture compression seems to be ‘on’ by default. Sometimes we have to insert large images (such as photos, maps, and diagrams) into a Word document. Unfortunately, large images can substantially increase.
Bill, Thanks for the escape hint. I have the same issue as Emma and David, the dropdown menu for my email rules, goes below the bottom of the screen. I could scroll thru all the rules, but the choice buttons at the bottom were off the screen. Hitting return does accept any changes.
But if I wanted to cancel my changes, there was no way to click on that button. Seems like no one has actually come up with a fix yet to resize the dropdown. Obviously the resize corner is off the screen, and the green + only effects the window behind the dropdown menu.
AHHHHH I solved my problem and I think it might work for others. The SAVE AS window butts up to the bottom of the toolbars and then extends down. External hard drive for mac. I clicked on the open oval button in the upper right of my Word screen (minimize tool bars) and then re-requested SAVE AS.
Voila, the screen now had the resize corner showing. I resized the SAVE AS screen, set my toolbars to full view, and tried SAVE AS again. It is now sized appropriately with all the buttons at the bottom available to me. Hope this helps someone else from going crazy (I was nearly there myself!). Two years later on, and this is still the only place I could find that helped me. A belated thanks to Bill for the ESC Key option!
I’m going to add this message in case it helps someone else searching typical key words to find the solution. Like Emma and David, I had a “cannot send message using the server” error window in Mail that was too big. I could not resize it. “Try later” and “Cancel” and “Edit” were below the visible screen. The green button or Zoom enlarged the whole screen, and yellow minimized it, but the error message stayed proportional and I still could not close or delete it.
But hitting the ESC key triggers the “Edit This Message” choice, and the error message window goes away, and I can fix the problem.
