Can't resize window on Office for Mac

Sasuke-chan · Nov 9, 2009, 09:39 PM

Hi, I'm a new user of Mac so I dun really know how to navigate through the whole thing and all..

So my problem now is Office for Mac (please don't tell me to give up office and use Pages instead). So I opened a document in Office, and I zoomed it (there's a zoom fxn at the top) to about 200 percent. I click the green button, hoping that it would resize to fit the bigger fonts nicely, instead of needing me to scroll left and right to read one line. But apparently, the green zoom button doesn't work. I click and it didn't resize. And btw, at that point, the window is only occupying less than half of the screen.

Is this normal? Does the green button not work on Office for Mac?

Have you tried resizing with the bottom right corner of the window?

Have you installed the latest updates for Mac OS X and Office?

Office had/s some problems with window management, so the error might ly there, but nadyne might have some more info on that.
