Office Word/Atlantis won't open to correct window size

I'm really not sure if I'm posting this in the right place.
I am running Office 2007 and Atlantis Word Processor in Windows 7 and suddenly neither window for those programs is opening at the same size they always have before. Using Office Word as an example this is the way the window has always opened before
when I start Office Word (this is my preferred work area as I have another window open beside it most of the time).
About a week ago for some reason this is how both programs open now.
Is there anyone who can tell me how to get Word/Atlantis to open the way it did before? I have tried using the Start, right-click, Properties, open maximized method for Word but it didn't work. I tried resizing the way I needed it and then closing
through the Office button. It still opened exactly as in the second image. Word will not open either maximized or in the configuration I originally had it opening in. Atlantis will open to maximized but will not minimize to the correct configuration.
All other programs on my computer open maximized, Office Word seems to be the only thing that will not open to either maximized or the correct minimized configuration. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, Windows 7 can restore the last window for Word. Regarding your issue, i find a solution which may be helpful to you.
Start>All Programs>Microsoft Office 2010>Word 2010
Right click on Word 2010, choose Properties.
Open one Word file, resize the word to the previous state.
Choose run Normal window in Properties dialog box.
Then click Apply, OK.

Microsoft Word 2011 won't Open in Yosemite

I have a problem with Word running under Yosemite. I have installed 14.4.5, reinstalled Office twice, and reinstalled the update. Excel and PowerPoint will run but Word still show me the word logo crashes and sends a report to Microsoft. Office setup will not open either.
I then I reformatted the disk again and started over with 10.6 then upgrades to Yosemite. then I have a network download version of office and did a new install. Word still won't open but the weird part is excel and PP work.

Mail 6.3 will not close and won't open an interactive window

A day or so ago I tried deleting about 4 messages off mail and then shut the app. A note came up and stated the messages could not be sent to the delete folder and then proceeded to close the window but the application remained as opened. I tried to quit the app from the dock but it wouldn't close it. I then tried shutting the system down and mail stopped it from closing. I have a Mac Book Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and tried to let the battery drain to let shut down that way to no avail. I've tried opening another window in Mail but it won't open a functional window (preview screen will not display highlighted message). How do I force a close or bring mail back to use it properly?

Fireworks won't remember the open/save as window size?

Hi,
Fireworks won't remember the open/save as window size. It always displays the same small window size. Deleting the preferences hasn't helped?
Thanks.

Thanks for the response.
Yes good point. It's Fireworks CS6 v 12.0.0.274 on Mac OSX v10.9.5.
I didn't have this issue with CS5.5 on 10.9.5, only started with CS6.
Anyway, you're probably right re living with it.
Maybe someone has experienced the same issue and found the reason.
Thanks again.

Word attachments won't open into Word application

My dad complained that his iMac G5 opens Word attachments automatically into the trial version of MS Office Word.
Eventhough he purchased a copy of Office, Mail continued to open Word attachments to the trial version. Because the trial version of Office is expired, the attachments wouldn't open unless I dragged the docs unto the desktop and changed the Info on the documents to open with the purchased version of Word.
In one attempt to resolve the problem, I trashed the trial version, Mail popped up the dialogue box that asked what application did I want to open the attachment with. I chose the purchased version of Office, but Mail won't do this automatically. It still asked to choose the application to open the document.
I went into his Documents folder and picked one Word doc to change the Info @ "Open With" and chose MS Word app and checked the box "Use this application to open all documents like this." Still didn't work. I then manually changed the Info in all of his Word docs to open into the purchased version of Word. Problem still not resolved.
Found out that his PDF docs won't open into Preview automatically too! I get the dialogue box... "Choose application to open document."
I looked through Preferences and couldn't find a solution.
I'm the family IT, and I need help.
I need Mail to open attachments automatically into their correct applications.
Thanks, Joe

Per this link, you must uninstall the Office 2004 trial or Test Drive version before installing the full purchased version.
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/default.aspx?pid=office2004td
Since you have already uninstalled the Test Drive version, I suggest uninstalling the full purchased version and then re-install it.
Regarding the problem with PDF documents, this link may be helpful.

Microsoft Word 2004 won't open in Leopard

I downloaded Leopard and everything went well and I used Microsoft Word a few times, then suddenly it won't open anymore.
I'm not sure if I downloaded something that's incompatible with it? Or something else happened? It won't let me update it and when I try to open it the words "The application Word quit unexpectedly" appear almost immediately. I checked my permissions, I checked the hard drive, but couldn't find the root of the problem.
Someone please help!

How did you "download" Leopard since it is not available that way? You have to buy Leopard unless it came installed on your hardware when you purchased it.
After you did the Leopard update did you update Office to the latest version? If not use the Auto update feature built in to it and download and install all the updates. It does them one at a time so you may have to do 5-6 downloads to get them all.
If that does not work then I would uninstall Office using the uninstaller that is on the CD and reinstall it then bring it up to date.

Just Updated to 10.9.5 Now iPhoto 8.1.2 Won't Open-Microsoft Word & Excel Won't Open

I have a MacBook Pro now running 10.9.5
I updated last night to the 10.9.5 version and after doing so my iLife applications stop working: iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand
My Microsoft Word and Excel stop working as well.
Every time i try to open these applications i get error and they just won't open.
" iPhoto quit unexpectedly wile using the iPhoto plug-in"
I get this same message for all my applications.
I tried getting help from Apple and all they really told me was that I may need to update to my iPhoto by paying $15 bucks.
I'm upset that my applications have all failed me only after updating to new 10.9.5
This update was done at 10:30PM, all day my Microsoft Apps and iPhoto app were working fine and now I'm out of luck?

iLife 11 is only available thru 3rd party retailers like Amazon.com or eBay.com. That will install iPhoto 9.0 and you can get to 9.4.3 vis these updaters:
1 - update to iPhoto 9.2.1 - you may be able to go from here directly to 9.4.3
2 - update to iPhoto 9.3
3 - update to iPhoto 9.3.2
4 - update to iPhoto 9.4
5 - and finally to iPhoto 9.4.3

Microsoft Word 2010 won't open?

When I try to open my Microsoft Word 2010 a message comes up saying 'Microsoft Word 2010 cannot be opened. Try again or repair the product in Control Panel.' However, when I go to the control panel Microsoft Word 2010 is no longer listed there. I've never
uninstalled or modified the file so I don't understand how it can just have disappeared??

Was Word loaded as an individual product or part of the Office suite? In other words, do you have Excel 2010 and PowerPoint 2010 and do they open?
If Word was loaded as part of the Office suite then it will not be listed individually in the Control Panel. With
Control Panel > Programs and Features it will show as Microsoft Office <package> 2010.
Either way, it sounds like you need to just get the install CD and reload.
If you are then prompted to Repair you can do it that way, or simply Remove and then Install.
Hope this helps

Navigatetourl won't open in same window and in infinite refresh

I have a project that requires a skip button and to go to a specified url in the same window once the animation is complete. The button works, however the navigatetourl in the last frame is not behaving.
Here is the code I've placed in the last frame:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_EnterFrameHandler);
function fl_EnterFrameHandler(event:Event):void
    //Start your custom code
    // This example code displays the words "Entered frame" in the Output panel.
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.student.nvcc.edu/home/amlayne/ite170/dreamweaver/graded_assignments/index.html"), "_self");
    stop();
    // End your custom code
I've tried moving it to an earlier frame, placing a stop in the earlier frame, moving the stop command to after and so on. No matter what I do, the new url opens in a new window and is in a constant state of refresh. I also have the loop turned off but the animation begins to load the first frame again anyway. Please help. I've tried many fixed listed in forums that are all about the same with no different results. You can view my animation here: http://www.student.nvcc.edu/home/amlayne/ite170/flash/graded%20assignments/myintro.html
NOTE: You will have to close the browser to get the refresh to stop.
I've been working on this one issue two days and am at a complete loss.

Any thoughts on why my button now won't open in the same window? I'm getting a sense the built in code snippets don't work as they should, or I'm just making silly mistakes. Here's the code:
btnSkip1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
          // Start your custom code
          // This example code displays the words "Mouse clicked" in the Output panel.
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.student.nvcc.edu/home/amlayne/ite170/dreamweaver/graded_assignments/index.html"), "_self")
          // End your custom code
