Summary: If a macro minimizes Microsoft Word for Windows to an icon and then moves the Word icon to another location on the screen, the space where Word was minimized remains active. Any attempt to move another Windows icon into the active space where Word was minimized causes the Windows icon to return to its previous location. The only way to clear the active space is to exit and restart Windows. The following macro reproduces the problem: Sub MAIN AppMinimize AppMove 20,20 End Sub
