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.
