    Word97 minimizes on startup...

    I know I've seen this before. I've also fixed it before. I found the solution in MS TechNet a couple of years ago, but I can't find it now.

    Whenever you open MS Word 97, it immediately minimizes itself. I think the solution was changing a Registry setting, but before a screw around with that, I figured I'd check here.

    The window wasn't minimizing, it had been moved off of the screen. Ctrl + Space + M let's you move it with the arrows, and then I was able to center it back on the screen. I'm a little PO'd that I didn't think of it sooner.

    Oh well.

    Thank you for the info on this meatwad.

    It told me what to look for, as I did a re-install of Office97, and it still was doing it as you described above.

    I tried what you said about CTRL-SPACE-M, but it didn't seem to work. All I then did was right click on the Word97 on the Taskbar, and selected Move (I think) and moved the mouse around until I saw THE Word97 window and the mouse pointer was stuck to the Titlebar. Cool!!!
