Hi! My word 2007 is only half the screen!

Hi!

I have a new 19' screen. However, my word 2007 only takes up half the
screen. I get the initial web page to expand by hitting F11; but I'm unable
to get 2007 word/excel to fill the whole screen. It's quite frustrating.
What does one do?

Thanks so much!

Can't you drag the borders, or double-click on the title bar, or click on
the Maximize button in the top right?

Thanks Dave. However, I have tried all those things. My word and excel
still remain half the screen of my 19' monitor.

Thanks so much!

In other words, when Internet Explorer isn't in Full Screen (kiosk mode),
that won't resize either? What happens if, say, you open Word, without any
other windows open, right-click an empty spot on the your Desktop Taskbar,
and choose "Show Windows Side by Side" (even though you have just one window
open)?

Are you running the default resolution on your new 19" monitor?
