Resizing tool lower right corner of window doesn't work

[Karl789]

Using Word 2008, and trying to open word files sent to me as attachments. They open in a tiny window with only a small portion of the page visible. When i try to expand the window by using the resizing corner tool, it doesn't respond.

How can i get the whole page visible?

Hi Karl,

Have you downloaded the attachments to your desktop or are you trying to
open them from within an email? Try downloading them and then using
File>Open from within Word. Make any difference?

If not, post back.

I'm finding the same error, and only after updating to Leopard from Tiger, on Office 2004: most attachments from Mail open up as the smallest possible window in word, and that also causes all other windows to refuse to resize, until I quit and relaunch. I'm also seeing problems in Excel, where it will spontaneously decide not to allow windows to resize by dragging (though they can be moved, or resized with the "Arrange" menu item).

Hi Peter,

You didn't mention whether or not you're double-clicking to open the
attachments or downloading them to your desktop first. It *shouldn't*
matter, but sometimes it does.
