"Open new window" Window Size - how to change?
 |
This is very annoying, and it only recently started happening, and I'm not sure why. Everytime I go to open a new link by right clicking it, and pressing "open in new window", the window that opens, opens the webpage, but the window size takes up the top 4th of my screen, so I have to resize it everytime I want to see the whole webpage. How do I change the size that it opens as?

I'll assume that you are using Internet Explorer. If that is the case, you can fix that by doing the following:
Most likely what occured is that you manually sized a window to that size, closed it, and IE remembered that as your preferred window size.
- Close all browser windows but one.
- Open a new window from a link on the remaining window.
- Close the old window (not the new one that just opened up).
- Adjust the window to be the size you want all the new windows to be (you cannot use the maximize button for this, you have to actually change the size of the window to be what you want the windows to automatically open up as).
- Hold down the Ctrl key while closing the window.

Thank you so much for your solution. I knew how to resize the window but I did not know how to save the prefered window size. Thanks, again!

I work in wordperfect 5.1. I need to use it in a window, not full screen. I did something to make the window really small, and I don't know what I did, and the print is really small and hard to read. I would like to know how do I make the window larger in wordperfect 5.1, so that the print will be larger.
