Want an option to having a REAL full-screen view when in writing mode in Word (as there was in 2003)

For the present Word version (365) I have not found a way to be able to use the entire/total/really full screen estate when using writing mode in Word. (Perhaps there is a way, not discovered by me yet?) But what I want both in Word 365 and foremost in the
next iteration of Word, is the option to choose - when in writing/editing mode - the entire screen real estate, with NO columns on each side of the screen and with NO Ribbon or other stuff on top and nothing at the bottom of the screen either.
This must be possible to establish as an option?!
The Word 2003 had such a feature, but it (completely?) disappeared as an option from 2007 and later, as far as I can see, and this lack of being able to choose using a totally blank screen, from bezel to bezel, with no other things than what you write on
it, is for me and many other writers, who often also use a machine with a rather small screen, a significant missing feature!
As I see it, the real estate that is "given away" to give space to the two vertical columns (to give a for me the unnessary and unwanted "impression/illusion" of having to deal with a sheet of paper placed on the middle of the screen),
this real estate should instead be used as a typing "place". In other words: Many writers and others would really like to be able to use ALL the screen from left to right and from top to bottom to be filled with letters and words!
Can and will this technically be done? So that we again (as in 2003) can be given the option to choose (real) full-screen view?
I would really like to get some positive feedback from developers and decision makers in the Word developer team at Microsoft about the possibility of re-establishing this now seemingly missing option.

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback.
As far as I know, this is currently not available in Office 2013. We are sorry that at this time we are not able to edit documents in a full screen mode that "with NO columns on each side of the screen and with NO Ribbon or other stuff on top and
nothing at the bottom of the screen either. "
We have passed this information to the product group for consideration for a future product or update.
Please be assured that our developers strive to capture Microsoft users' ideas and are working hard to create a more powerful and easy-to-use product.
Thanks for your understanding.

Bridge won't show me full screen view when pressing spacebar?

This has been happening for a while now. I've had this mac and cs4 for a while with no problems. Then one day, I was looking through a recent photo shoot, I pressed space bar so I could view the image in full screen view, and the dashboard disappeared as well as the menu bar at the top for Bridge itself. ??
I did all updates, as well as un-installed Bridge and re-installed. Still having the same (ANNOYING) issue?!
Why would Bridge just ONE DAY start doing this? Is it some setting or something I clicked? I don't get it.
If anyone's had this problem before (and figured it out!) I would be SO GRATEFUL for some help!

I pressed space bar so I could view the image in full screen view, and the dashboard disappeared as well as the menu bar at the top for Bridge itself. ??
Not sure I understand your problem, Bridge by default shows only the image at full screen with a grey background bordering the parts that don't fit to the screen ratio. Clicking with the mouse in the image shows that part at 100 % and having used rating (cmd + . or cmd + , ) for in- or decreasing rating brings the rating and filename bottom left in view. Has always been this way to my knowledge.
For good sharpness of the full screen image select the option to generate monitor sized previews in Bridge preferences advanced tab.

What is a full screen view?

My full screen view used to be a full screen view of a photo. Edge to edge, top to bottom. Now in slide show I have 1 inch vertical black bands on each side. In full screen view I have 1 1/2 inch vertical bands on each side plus the horizontal info bands. I suspect a solution is in iPhoto preferences but I can't find it. Can I get a real full screen view? (13 inch Mac Book running 10:6.5)

There is no solution in the Preferences or anywhere else.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and let the developers know you want a change.

Every time I use Firefox it defaults to a full screen view that I cannot get out of without aborting the application because I cannot use any other controls

This never happened until a few days ago and I didn't knowingly do anything to bring it about. I also just now uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but that didn't help anything. My internet explorer and all other applications work fine. It is only Firefox that now automatically goes to a full screen view when I launch it and I do not know how to get out of it except by aborting by using ctr+alt+del

..............thank you so very much for the super great tip.........who knows why this just started happening to me but as long as your fix works then I guess it sure doesn't matter

Firefox will not allow me full screen view of Zynga's FarmVille.

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full scree

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen

I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.

"Full Screen View" option for browsers

I produce iMovie projects such as:
http://firmimage.ca/10delisle110.php
I would like to to add a "Full Screen View" option & don't know how.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

They key is to "target" the QuickTime Player instead of the browser plug-in.
This is done with new "tags" in the special html code and a secondary .mov file that acts as a "poster movie". When the visitor clicks on the poster movie the 'href' (linked file) URL loads in the QuickTime Player. The poster movie could be a small image file (saved as .mov) to act as a button.
QuickTime Player Pro can add special "Presentation" properties to a file such as "Full Screen" and "Quit when done".
Snow Leopard's QuickTime X doesn't seem to like the stored Presentation feature, however. One of my pages that shows how it works (sort of). View Source to see the html code.

Does Safari for PC have full screen view option?

I am new to Mac (better late than never and am trying Safari on my old PC. Have not yet found a full screen view function in Safari. Explorer toggles from regular screen to full using F11 (and the top slides into view with the pointer, like the Dock on a Mac). Cheers,
Tom, Berkeley, CA

Hi! The little icons in the upper right hand corner (minus-square-x) are the screen resizer buttons. Click on the square and it goes to full screen, click on it again and it's back to its smaller size, the minus puts it to the bottom of the screen and the x quits the app. All is just like windows users are used to. Position the window to the upper left and then drag the little triangle in the lower right corner allows you to set the screen size to how you want it to be each time you start the app. Tom

*real* full screen in screen sharing??

Hi,
How can I view the screen of the remote desktop (using screen sharing) in REAL full screen mode, i.e. without seeing any of the menus or docks of the host computer. Currently, if I choose "view-full screen" I still get a menu and the dock for the host computer.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

ColonelPanik,
What six buttons are you talking about? When I open a Screen Sharing session, it opens in a standard Mac OS window and I can only see the standard window frame, with three buttons (red, yellow and green) on left, the name of the computer to which I connected in the middle, and the white button on the right that toggles the toolbar on and off.
The toolbard, by the way, has only three buttons: fit screen in window (which is not "view in full screen"), get remote clipboard contents, and send remote clipboard contents.
I do not see these 6 buttons you are referring to. I am also using 10.5.7.
Thanks,
BZdM

Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer: Full screen view of lower quality than with PSE 10 and before?!

Upgrading from PSE 10 to 11, I noticed that when I watch my images with the organizer in PSE 11 in full screen view mode (F11), while the images load faster, they are shown in a lower quality than in PSE 10 or any other version of PSE that I owned before. In PSE 11, after the initial viewing in full screen (in the "fit screen" mode), when I click with the mouse on an image to display the "100%" view, there is a delay and the program says "Loading...", after which the 100% view in the full screen mode appears. When I then click another time with the mouse on the image to get back to "fit screen" mode, I get an image of better quality than during the initial view!
So it seems like the program first gives a faster, but lower quality view of the image in full screen mode, and only after the user requests a 100% view, it actually loads the image with full detail, which is then preserved when going back to the "fit screen" view. This is a serious issue for me, because I also use PSE organizer to present my pictures to other people, and I don't want to show them some lower quality versions of my images, but the full quality ones, without having to first choose "100% view" and then go back to "fit screen".
How can I make the PSE 11 organizer give me a full-quality full screen image right away, as this used to be the case in PSE10 and before?
(I have both versions, PSE 11 and PSE 10, now on the same computer and tested this to confirm that the PSE 11 initial full screen view is of lower quality than the PSE 10 one. Also in PSE 10, there is practically no delay for displaying the "100%" view afterwards, indicating that the image was loaded with full detail right away.)

- Update:
* Adobe's senior support level has replied to me about this issue as follows:
"Thank you for contacting Adobe.
When you press the F11 button, Organizer 11 uses the Bicubic
interpolation mainly because it is less processor intensive compared to
Bicubic Sharper, and it helps to create the preview on the fly, rather
than based on the thumbnail cache.
When you zoom out from the 100% view, Elements Organizer uses Bicubic
Sharper. This is because Bicubic Sharper is used for image reduction, so
if the 100% view is larger than the available screen space, it will need
to shrink. The Bicubic Sharper images may look more crisp however, Like
any sharpening algorithm, Bicubic Sharper introduces halos and
edge-enhancement artifacts. Those halos are typically slight, but any
further sharpening (which you'll need when preparing an image for print,
for example) will exaggerate them.This is expected behavior. The
Organizer isn't great for determining exact quality, I recommend you to
use Elements Editor for this purpose.
Thank you,
Bobby Johnson,
Adobe Technical Support."
* My reply on this to Adobe is:
"Hello Bobby,
thank you for your reply. Now at least we are talking about the same thing.
Why I am wondering about the choice to use the "Bicubic" algorithm when pressing F11 in PSE 11 is that all previous versions of PSE that I owned (which spans from PSE 6 to PSE 10) did use the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm right away when pressing F11. So apparently Adobe didn't worry about processor intensity of this algorithm then, and computers are getting all the time more powerful.
It is true that in some situations, the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm may introduce halos and edge-enhancement artifacts, as you write. On the other hand, especially on smaller resolution screens, the results of the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm may look more crisp and lively, while the ones of the "Bicubic" algorithm may look more flat and lack fine detail. This is not only my personal opinion, but as I have brought up this topic in several forums, I can see that I am not alone here.
So assuming that the question about preferring "Bicubic Sharper" or "Bicubic" as a default algorithm when pressing F11 is partly a matter of taste, and partly a matter of the hardware the user has available, why can Abobe not give the user an option to choose which one he/she would prefer? For instance, F11 gives full screen view with "Bicubic" applied, and CTRL+F11 with "Bicubic sharper"? Or make this an option in the preferences?
As I am using the PSE organizer also to present pictures to other people (and I know many people who use it that way too), I would like to show them my pictures as sharp and detail-rich as possible. Therefore, I would highly appreciate an option as described above to be implemented in the PSE 11 organizer via an update. It should be fairly easy from a programming point of view, since both algorithms are already contained in the program anyway."
* If you support this suggestion of mine as stated above, please also contact Adobe accordingly! The more support requests they get for this, the more likely it is that they will implement this update! You may mention my case number 0184046323 for reference.

Transition Problems in Full Screen View

Hi.
I've created a Powerpoint presentation on the Bayeux Tapestry which I now want to convert to a PDF document so that I can add multimedia.
My Powerpoint presentation features photographs of a section the tapestry with each photograph placed on a separate slide. I've used the Powerpoint 'push left' transition to create a panoramic effect which creates the illusion that the tapestry is being scrolled from right to left as the viewer clicks through the presentation. It all works very well in Powerpoint as the slides butt up against each other in transition without any 'seam' between them.
I thought I could simply replicate the effect in Acrobat 9 by converting the presentation to PDF and selecting the 'push left' transition from Advance/Document Processing options then launching the document in full screen view. However, I've found that using a push left transition in Acrobat creates wacking great gaps between the pages as they scroll right to left: this absolutely ruins the whole effect.
As you can probably tell, I'm pretty much a newbie with Acrobat 9 (but not with other Adobe applications) and I can't work out for the life of me how to get around this problem. Is there someting simple that I'm overlooking on the full screen view options or perhaps in the Powerpoint conversion settings or do I have to start adjusting resolutions etc? Or maybe it's just the nature ofthe beast (do hope not)?
I'd be very grateful for any enlightenment or advice.
PS: Forgot to mention the Powerpoint was created in default landscape layout and hence so is the PDF.

Do you have the PDF version to fill the full screen and not leave borders? If you print to PDF (not create PDF), then a margin is added by default (as when you print to paper). The border can be reduced to 0, but that is an extra step with the print. As I recall, the PDF Maker (create PDF) does not include the margins. Thus the whole margin bit may be the issue.

Full-screen view in PSE 12?

When I am editing a photograph in PSE 12, I would like to be able to expand the photo I'm working on periodically while I'm working on it, such that I can see, full screen, what the actual results of my manipulations in the picture will be. I can't find any way to [easily] get Photoshop Elements 12 to go to a full-screen view (and then to go right back into the working, image-adjusting views to continue with the various processings). Any way to do this right within PSE 12, without leaving PSE to look at the emerging image in another program??
Thank you for any assistance,
Peter
Boise, Idaho

Thank you, R_Kelly!
I'm using Windows 7 (on PC), so I *can* do the procedure you described (and have tried it just now)...
I do like this "floating window" setting, for several reasons, and think it will be quite useful, so I thank you very much for your reply!
But... While doing this does indeed eliminate the outside-the-image clutter and therefore makes the image-in-progress somewhat easier to assess, it doesn't really do anything to make the image fill the entire monitor screen (as I can easily do with most other photo viewers). I'm getting the feeling that an entire-screen image isn't doable in PSE 12 at all (why the heck wouldn't they put that in??), so probably doing the floating-window-maximized thing is about as close as I'm going to get to what I really want to do. Better than nothing, I suppose, but I really don't understand why they (Adobe) would leave out such an obviously useful/important option.
Thank you, though. Did learn something I know will be helpful~~

Make Flash player window full screen automatically, when it's opening

Hi, all.
It's today I joined Adobe forums so, I don't know much about community guidlines and functionality here. So, pardon me if I do any mistake or something.
This is my problem...
I'm creating an interface with Adobe Flash Catalyst and I want it to be written to a CD and distributed to clients.
When I publish swf, I cannot find an option to make flash player full screen.
I want my SWF file to be opened in full screen mode when the user opens it.
To the best of my knowledge, I think, I cannot do it with Catalyst as it doesn't have coding facilities.
I hope Flash Builder is helpful with kind of times. But I know nothing about FB. Do you know how to do it with Flash Builder ?
( I mean, open my Catalyst project in Builder, then make the edits or something to make Flash player full Screen when opening )
Thanks a lot,
Tharindu.
