Top of Word document window hidden beneath top menu

[joekmoch]

I have a Word document that I can't see the top of because it's
behind
the top menu bar. I cannot see the 3 horizontal "lights" to do
anything with it. There's no place I can grab to move it down.
This
may be an OSX problem, but it only occurs with Word - this happened
one other time until I deleted the file. I'd rather not do that.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Under the menu bar, or under one of Word's formatting bars? I don't
see how any document window slip under the menu bar unless something
is really going wonky with Word or OS X.

Luckily, it's a easy fix: go to the Window menu and select 'zoom
window', that will resize it to fit your acreen.

This is an old post, but if anyone happens across this...I am having the same problem, but when I click on "window" the "zoom" option is greyed out (as is "arrange all" which is another fix I had read about). SO frustrating! It used to happen once in a while but now happens every time I open a word doc!

One way to cause this to happen without having multiple computers with different resolutions is in the 'save' dialog box to shrink and then expand the size with the little button beside the filename window. I frequently have that save window too big so I can't find the 'save' button and have to do just this.

Thank you! I would never have thought of that simple fix.
