I am having a difficult problem with MS Photo Editor and I could really use some help. When the user opens up a word document he clicks on the hyperlink. It then opens up a graphic in photo editor and it fills up his screen. When he tries to reduce it to a smaller window size, it goes to the task bar and the only option he has is to maximize. He can not click on the restore option because it is greyed out nor minimize the window. He is unsing NT 4.0 and a dual monitor video card with Office 97. Office and Photo Editor have both been deleted and reinstalled and the problem stioll exists. Can anyone please help me with this issue? Any/all help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!
 
OK - this may sound a bit odd and there has to be a better way - but this works for me.
Do you have the office shortcut bar displayed? If so, open open MS Photo Editor and maximise it - it should be maximised to the screen size (minus the space taken by the Office Shortcut bar). Then drag the shortcut bar and move it some else on the screen.
MS Photo Editor will automatically resize and take up the space made available by the shortcut bar being moved.
However, now if you click on the resize button on the top right of the MS Photo Editor title bar, the window will not minimise, it will allow you to resize it manually from the bottom right corner - and drag it to the size you want.
I know it sounds strange.
 
I will try anything. Thanks for the great tip and I will let you know if it worked.

Thanks
