window opening from within Word (Excel too) was so tiny every time &
couldn't be resized. IE5 was the MS
browser then & was the culprit.

That was 3 years ago. Now IE6, WinXP, etc. are out. Is there finally a
fix, registry tweak, add-in, VBA macro, etc. that can keep the size to
what I want it set to?
