Word disappears in restore mode

M Skabialka

I am trying to open Word 2003 on a new dual monitor system that has been
running fine for a couple of weeks. I see Word open but then it flies off
to the left, beyond my left screen. If I maximize Word from the Taskbar I
can use it on my left monitor, but if I restore it down it flies off to the
left. You can't move an application to the other monitor in maximize mode.

How do I get Word in restore mode to appear within my monitor screen
boundaries? Maxing out my screen resolution doesn't help. Selecting Move
from the TaskBar doesn't help as I think you have to be able to see the
application to move it.

Thanks,
Mich

Right-click on the Taskbar button for the window, choose Move, and then use
the Right Arrow key to bring it back in view.

Move and Size are grayed out in all modes, maximize, minimize and restore,
so I can't try this...

When I opened another document I was able to use the move and arrow keys -
thanks for your help!

Move should be available when a Normal window is open, that is, when the
Taskbar button offers Minimize and Maximize but not Restore. Another
approach is to open any other window, then right-click on the Taskbar and
choose Cascade. This should bring the window back in view.
