Summary:

It is not possible to size or move a Windows application window or a Word for Windows document window if the window is maximized.

To size the Word for Windows application window when running under Windows 3.00, press ALT+SPACEBAR and choose Size (press ALT+F8 for Windows 2.x). The option to size the application window is available on the system menu whenever the application is NOT maximized (in full-screen mode).

If the Word for Windows application is running in full-screen mode, press ALT+SPACEBAR and choose Restore. After the window is restored, the application window can be sized by pressing ALT+SPACEBAR and choosing Size (use the direction keys to size the window and press ENTER to set the position). To move the application window, press ALT+SPACEBAR and choose Move (press ALT+F7 for Windows 2.x).

To size the Word for Windows document window, press ALT+HYPHEN and choose Size. Again, the document window cannot be sized or moved if it is maximized. If the document window is maximized, press ALT+HYPHEN and choose Restore prior to using the Size or Move command.
