Default Winword opens minimized

I have MSOfficePro 2003 and WinXP, all updates installed.9 (Swedish language
editions).
Suddenly my Winword started opening minimized (icon and files) and can't be
opened normally visible at all. All other office programs open normally.
Removing and reinstalling doesn't fix the problem.
Now I have to use OpenOffice Write to be able to work with my word-files.
How can I fix the problem?

Did you try right clicking on the minimized file and selecting Maximize?

Have you tried grabbing the corners and expanding it?

What corners?
Word is visible on start-up menu, but clicking, right or left, doesn't give
any menu,
Task manager shows that winword.exe has started, but it must be stopped
there. Next time Word is starting in safe mode but only once.
The problem persists.

When Winword is open on the Desktop then grab the bottom right corner and stretch it out as big as you want it. Then when you open it next time it should remember that size and open up to what you stretched it to.

The other way is to right click on Winword in your Start menu and select Properties then go to the Run window and click on the small dropdown arrow and set it to Maximized

That doesn't work.
Winword is not open on the desktop at all but as a button on Start menu.
There it is quite dead.
Clicking - right or left - does nothing. The program has to be stopped on
task manager.
