word 97

This happens frequently it seems.
Here are a couple of things to try:
1 Right click the icon and choose Maximize
2 Right click the taskbar and choose Cascade or Tile
3 Run Winword.exe /regserver

In addition to the first answer, I would right click the shortcut icon that you use to open Word. Choose Properties and on the Shortcut tab in the Run dialog box choose maximize there. This will get the window to open maximized each time. Good luck.

If you close Word by right clicking on word from the minimized state it it will launch to the minimized state. Even from the icon.

To prevent this when you exit out of word have it in the maxamized state and do a file exit. The next time you launch word it should open in a maxamized state

ps.to above question
I cannot open word from task bar it only diplays as if open.when I click task bar it seem to flash up the screen very fast but will not stay displayed.hope this gives a cleare picture(excuse the pun)
