I have a user whose wrod and excel files shrink to minimum after double clicking them to open them. The files are OK - its just that when he clicks on a file to open it Word or Excel will open the file but then minimize it. He then must unminimize the files. Strange thing and have not seen anything like it before or any help anywhere about this.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Word and Excel Files close on opening
also try "winword.exe /a". this causes word to skip plug-ins and extensions.
lastly, those files may have a VB macro causing the minimization. word and choose the TOOLS Menu, then the macro sub menu and look for Macro Security. set macros to disabled.

Re: Word and Excel Files close on opening
This often occurs if you close word with the x when it is not maximized, or
you right click it in the taskbar when it is minimized and select close. To rectify, open word. Maximize it. Then you must select File, Exit.
You see, windows remembers what size the screen was the last time you closed
out of it only if you close out of it correctly! If you open it, minimize
it, then don't fully open it back up before you close it with file , exit,
it's going to open not maximized again.

Re: Word and Excel Files close on opening
Close the word application. Trying searching for this normal.dot file in your computer, it would be a hidden file, so make sure all hidden files option is set in folder option and then delete the file. Then restart the computer and try opening Word and check for the status.

Balaji A.

Re: Word and Excel Files close on opening
It seems like some kind of bug.
I have Trend, MS Antispyware, Spybot, Adaware and an Kaspersky version running on the e mail server.
I have a feeling that this must be a macro bug on his system and his alone.
Thanks for the information and help.
I will ask him to remove all the macros and save to another location and reload Office.
