Windows 10: Yet Another Request For Word Document Default Window Size

Currently have W10 version 2004 Build 19041.388 installed and Word version 2007 Build 13029.20344 as part of our (now named) Microsoft 365 suite. Many posts have described solutions to opening Word documents in a specific window size, but none have remedied this problem for me. Prior to the latest office updates, I had Word set to open ANY document, new or otherwise in a specific size window. Now, since this last update, I have to re-size EVERY document that is opened. It doesn't matter if I save the document with the desired window size, size the Normal.dotm file, hold down the CTRL key while clicking the X to close the window....all documents still open in a default size that cannot be changed and requires them to be resized. I am not talking about the zoom level, this is the document window size. I do not have this issue with Excel or Access, only Word. Is there a verfied solution to correct this behavior?

Size limit for Word documents?

I've never had a problem with the file size of a Word document, what version of Word was the document created with? I know Quick Office will not open Word 2007 documents.

 

Wrong "remove from list" document on word mobile.

Hi,

To further assist you with your concern about re-enabling files that were removed from the Recent Documents List in Word, we suggest to follow this steps:

• Click the FILE tab in the program.
• Click Options from the list on the left side of the screen.
• On the Word Options dialog box, click Advanced in the list of options on the left.
• On the Advanced screen, scroll down to the Display section. Select the value in the Show this number of Recent Documents edit box. You can choose to change the value to 0 to disable the list.
  
• When you open Word, or select the Open option in the program, there are no documents in your Recent Documents list.
• To re-enable the list, go back into the Word Options dialog box and enter the desired value (from 0 to 50, inclusive) in the Show this number of Recent Documents edit box on the Advanced screen. If any documents were previously displayed in the Recent Documents
  list, they are added to the list again.
  

We're just here if you have further questions.

Regards.

 

Lost Word documents

Hi LornaRadke,

Firs check your recycle bin folder probably you can find your lost file there. If not found there then try another way of searching your lost documents file by their name in the search box.

Still not found, then apply these manual steps: Open MS Word > click the File Tab > Click Manage Document >select Recover Unsaved Documents from the drop-down
list > Check for your missing file in the dialog box >Open the recovered Word document > click the Save As button in the top banner.

Probably you will find your lost documents on this list.

Finally if not shows there then try the last alternative option i.e. third party free data recovery programs like Recuva, stellar data recovery free edition, recoverit, etc. These utility programs completely free and can help you to recover your lost
files. You can try your luck. Thanks
