Outlook 2003 doesn't maintain window sie after closing and reopeni
After restarting Outlook 2003, the window size for New, Reply, forward etc.
is full screen but not maximized. It is not the smaller size of the window that I last used. the only way to make the screen smaller is to alt-spacebar and resize. The proper sizes will last until I close Outlook, but won't be maintained when I re-start. I hav to alt-spacebar and resize every time. this is new behavior after I re-installed on a new computer, updated to 2003 SP3. Any suggestions on how I can get the window size to be maintained on re-start? -- LK |

Thanks for the reply. No, Outlook does close and is NOT in task manager after I exit and the changes to the window size still don't stick. Any other suggestions? -- LK "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: when you close outlook is it left running in task manager? that's the usual reason for changes not sticking. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

Did you examine the Processes tab for "outlook.exe"? The Applications tab is not a good indicator of what's running. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Yes, I only looked in the process tab and watched while Outlook and Word, which I use as email editior, both closed. Any other suggestions as to why the window sizes wind up being maximized on re-start instead of the last size being retained? -- LK "Brian Tillman" wrote: LK wrote: Thanks for the reply.

Have you tried resizing the windows again and then used Ctrl-double-click on the icon at the left end of the title bar to force Windows to record the attributes? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

I appreciate you suggestions. I just tried ctrl-double click as you
suggested. It didn't work. The "new", "reply" and "forward" windows were still maximized when I restarted Outlook. The size only gets maintained until I close Outlook. Short of uninstalling and re-installing Office, is there anything else you think might work? -- LK "Brian Tillman" wrote: LK wrote: Yes, I only looked in the process tab and watched while Outlook and Word, which I use as email editior, both closed.

Before you said "not maximized but full screen", meaning to me that it was not as though you clicked the maximized button, but as though you dragged the borders to the edges of the screen. Here you say maximized. You haven't changed your meaning, though, correct? I've never seen this and I can't think of anything that would be causing it. Sorry. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Brian, sorry for the confusion. The screens would come up maximized, one page
image between the minimize dash and X in the upper tight hand corner. Clicking the middle page button slightly reduced the size of the page, but I would then have to alt-spacebar in order to re-size the window, or drag if I moved the scren slightly to catch the edge of the page. Outlook would not maintain the new size after closing the applicaiton and re-starting. Anyway, I really appreciate your trying to help. If I figure it out I will add a post to let you know. Thanks again. -- LK "Brian Tillman" wrote: LK wrote: I appreciate you suggestions. I just tried ctrl-double click as you suggested. It didn't work.
