Word as email editor for Outlook opens small...

Howdy,

I use Word2K as my email editor with Outlook2K.

Ordinarily, if I am in Outlook and click the New button (to create a
new message) Word opens as a maximized window.

Now, for some reason, Word opens as a Window that fills perhaps 20% of
the screen, and that is centered top to bottom. I have tried clicking
the maximize button and also dragging the borders of the Word window
to fill the screen. Either technique works fine for the moment, but
then when I try to create a new message, the same small window
appears.

What can I do to correct the problem?

Sincere thanks for suggestions,
Kenneth

This is a common problem when you've invoked Outlook from either IE or OE.
There is no solution that I know of. Is this occurring when you invoke a New
Message Window from Outlook? That, I've never seen before.

Hi Russ,

Yes, this happens when I am working in Outlook, and click on its New
Message button.

I have also noticed that a re-boot cures it, but I have not figured
out the cause.

Thanks for your response,

Kenneth:

This is a setting that is saved in the registry when Word and Outlook quit.

Try this:

1) Fix the problem manually

2) Exit Word

3) Exit Outlook.

4) Reboot.

Fix it?

If not, you have a damaged DATA key in your registry. Get your system
administrator to sort it out for you.

Hope this helps.
