Default Microsoft Word maximizes improperly when Outlook is running

This is a problem that only seems to occur after I have
written at least one e-mail message. If Outlook is
running when I open Word, then Word appears about two
inches down the screen. The minimize/maximize button
shows it as being maximized. It's as though the screen
coordinates are off somehow. I've created a screen shot
that shows what I'm talking about and uploaded it to my
web site. The picture is at:

Anybody else experiencing this problem with either Word
or some other application? If so, is there anything I can
do about it? As you can see from the picture, there is
not scroll bar so the bottom of the application window is
inaccessible.

Hi Irene,

The position of the Word window is stored in the Word\Data key in the
Registry. You might try recreating it to see if it resolves the issue.
Exit Word and Outlook and in the Registry navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\W ord\Data

and rename the Data key.

As always, prior to making any changes to the Registry you should
review "Backing up the Registry" and "Restoring the Registry" in the
Registry Help.

In this situation you may want to use the Registry/Export Registry
file command, export your selected branch, and delete the key. That
way if you find the change wasn't necessary or incorrect, you can
merge the deleted branch back to the Registry by double-clicking the
resulting file.
