Visio Hidden by Taskbar at Top of Screen
I have gotten used to keeping my Windows task bar at the top of the
screen instead of the bottom. I find this more convenient because it is like the menus and is a shorter reach than when at the bottom. However, there are some applications that open at their old window coordinates, but goof it up by not "knowing" the task bar is using the top of the screen. It is as if the apps remember where they were in "visible" screen coordinates and then restore their location in full screen coordinates. So the apps end up above the visible screen and have to be moved back by using the keyboard since the window controls are off screen. If this is done a few times, the entire window can end up off screen. You would think that of all apps, MS apps would not have this bug. But Visio 2003 seems to have it. Is there a work around other than not keeping the taskbar at the top of the screen? Rick |

Visio Hidden by Taskbar at Top of Screen
I see this on my Vista machine as well as on my W2K machine. The
Vista machine is a laptop and the W2K is a desktop. As to configuration of the monitors... I don't know what you are asking for. I seriously doubt that this has to do with that. I belive the desktop is using an LCD at 1280x1024 and the laptop is 1440x???. I also see this with other programs than Visio. In particular I see it a lot with dialog boxes that are opened, but it also happens with the main program window if it is not opened maximized. Did you open and close Visio several times? Each time it is closed and opened, it appears a bit further up the screen, I expect it is moving the height of the task bar. Also, I have my task bar set to not auto hide. I am running MS Office 2003. Maybe this is fixed in newer versions.

I tested this setup on a computer and for me Visio's menu items are displayed below the Windows Taskbar.
