Custom Toolbars Use Too Much Space Starting Word Minimized
ID: Q120766
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
SYMPTOMS
When you start Word for Windows in the minimized state, if you load several
custom toolbars, the toolbars appear one under the other (as if on their
own lines) when you maximize Word. This happens even when there is enough
room for the toolbars to dock side-by-side.
If you have several toolbars, they may obscure the entire working area
(this happens more frequently if you are using the Large Buttons setting
and a low-resolution Windows video driver).
STATUS
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
WORKAROUNDS
Method 1: Start Word in the maximized state by doing the following:
- In Windows Program Manager, select your Word program
icon.
- From the File menu, choose Properties.
- Clear the Run Minimized option so there is no X in
the box next to it, and then choose OK.
Method 2: If you want to start Word in the minimized state, write a global
AutoExec macro that uses the AppMinimize WordBasic command
to minimize Word when you start the application. If you use
this method, you should also clear the Run Minimized option
in Program Manager (see Method 1 for instructions).
