Hello,
it happened again. Running Win-98. Wordwindow disappears completely when I try to shrink it from the middlebutton in the topright corner. On the taskbar I can see the application is still active, but since the window disappeared, I can't resize it to something smaller from full screen. With rightclicking the Wordicon on the taskbar, I get the menu where it says resize, but nothing happens when I try this. How do I get back the "halfsized" word window?
 
close or minimize all apps except Word, then right click on taskbar and click "Cascade Windows"
 
kybrdmnky has the easiest solution to the "offscreen window" I've ever seen and will get a star as soon as I finish this.

To Ersbygubben: After you select Resize, you must play with the arrow keys to actually resize (or Move) a window, and then press Enter to accept the resize/move when you're done.

But kybrdmnky's solution for finding the damned window is the best!
