SYMPTOMS
When you display the Web toolbar, the Web address area on the toolbar may be cut off, and the full address may not be displayed.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when you set the screen to use a low resolution (640 x 480) and when you use a large font to display the menus in Windows.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use any of the following methods.

Method 1: Change the Screen Resolution and Font
Change the screen resolution to a setting larger than 640 x 480, or change the menu fonts to a smaller font or smaller font size.

For more information about changing the display resolution, click Start on the Windows taskbar, and click Help. Click the Index tab. Type display, resolution, changing, and click Display.

Method 2: Move the Web Toolbar
You can move the toolbar from its docked position to a floating position. This may allow you to see more of the URL.

For more information about "moving toolbars," click the Office Assistant, type floating toolbars, click Search, and then click "move a toolbar."

NOTE: If the Assistant is hidden, click the Office Assistant button on the Standard toolbar. If Word Help is not installed on your computer, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

120802 Office: How to Add/Remove a Single Office Program or Component



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
When the default menu font is used in Windows, the display area should be wide enough to display the entire toolbar. The default font is MS Sans Serif or Tahoma. This problem is more likely to occur with the Microsoft Plus Pack for Windows 95 because you can use the Plus Pack to change the theme settings for your Windows environment. Some theme settings use larger font sizes that are more likely to cause this problem. The font size can be changed manually by changing the appearance settings for Windows. To change the font size, follow these steps:
 * 1) Right-click the desktop.
 * 2) On the shortcut menu, click Properties.
 * 3) Click the Appearance tab.
 * 4) In the Item list, click Menu.
 * 5) Select a smaller font or font size, and click OK.
