Solution found. One of our Information Technology personnel
logged into my PC remotely and with Word open, right
clicked on Word on the menu bar, choose Move and then use
arrow keys to drag the open file back to the desktop, then
reposition and center word in the open window. This
worked.

Thank you for your help, also.
