Resize a Microsoft Office Program Window

Maximize a window to Full Screen Display

Make sure a program window is not ‘Maximized’, because you cannot resize or click the edge of a window that is maximized as a full screen. To verify that a window is not maximized, hold the mouse pointer over the middle of the 3 buttons on the top-right corner of a window. A yellow rectangular message will appear that says ‘Restore Down’. Clicking the middle box after the Restore Down message is displayed allows you to move the mouse pointer over the edges of the program window to resized the window.

Resize a Window

Move the mouse pointer to any one of the window borders: top or bottom, left or right side, or one of the corners (P.S.: stay away from the corner with the red-X. It is too easy to accidentally click that box by which will close the application, accident or not!). The mouse pointer will change to a double-arrow head pointer. Hold the mouse button down and move the mouse left or right, up or down. Release the mouse button when you get the window size you want.

Save As command

I have many Microsoft Word and Excel files I work with at the same time, and often forget the folder I saved to.  The Save As command reminds me where the file is. All I have to do is:

  • Click File
  • Click Save As

The Save As dialog box opens to the last known file destination, showing the last place I saved an existing document.

Mouse Skills

The mouse is one of the commonly used devices to enter information into a computer. As small as it is, with either 2 or 3 buttons, it can be a nightmare to use if it is the first time you have to ‘double-click’ or ‘right-click’. This brief explanation of mouse techniques and terms is not meant to replace actual hands-on lessons. Continue reading →

Dump Your Office Assistant

One of the most annoying features of Microsoft Office 2003 is the Office Assistant icon and its character referred to as Clippy. It interferes with the work of a user by acting as a ‘pop up’, attempting to anticipate questions about punctuation, grammar, spelling, or other topics as you are working in the program.

Without the Office Assistant

When the time comes to get help in a Microsoft Office program, I have three, less annoying options available within Microsoft Office. Continue reading →
