WD97: Menu Bar Fails to Hide in Full Screen Mode

Last reviewed: January 26, 1998
Article ID: Q179833
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you are in full-screen mode (On the Edit menu, click Full Screen), the Word menu bar fails to automatically hide after activating and closing an inserted OLE object.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, close and re-enter full-screen mode.

To turn off full-screen mode and switch to the previous view, click Close Full Screen on the Full Screen toolbar or press ESC.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

To display as much of your document as possible on the screen, you can switch to full-screen mode. In this mode, Word removes distracting screen elements, such as toolbars and scroll bars.

NOTE: If you want to choose menu commands in full-screen mode, rest the pointer at the top of the document window, and the menu bar appears. For example, you might want to set options on the View tab (Tools menu, Options command) to specify which screen elements to display in full-screen mode.
