From: Frank A. on 3 Jan 2010 14:24 I'm trying out Word 2007 and am baffled by the seeming absence of the ability to hide the Status Bar (on the bottom) and the Full Screen option. Why would they neglect to put these options in? I do hope I missed something here. Otherwise I see heaps of improvements to the new layout in Word 2007.
From: Doug Robbins - Word MVP on 3 Jan 2010 14:32 Look under the View tab for the "Full Screen Reading" option. -- Hope this helps.

I wonder why they don't just put that in the View menu like its been for years? Also with Word 2007 there isn't that idiotic Message Box that used to appear and ruin Full Screen view. Wonderful.

> Look under the View tab for the "Full Screen Reading" option. Its almost full screen except for a menu bar at the top. Except that now it only takes up about 1/3 of my screen width. Is there any way of making it "fit to width"? With the world trying to migrate away from paper and all the waste it entails, you'd think they'd display it with more practicality. Its as if 99% of the world still prints everything and the view is supposed to exactly replicate the printed page. Its such hard work dragging these dinosaurs out of the 20th century with their reams of paper printed pointlessly, printing photos instead of investing in a decent monitor, etc. End of rant....:) |
