Re: automatically zooming windows

I saw a workaround that someone posted which may help you. (Now, if I could
only remember it.) I *think* the recommendation was to go into System
Preferences> Displays, change the screen resolution to something else and
then back to where you had it. This would cause Word to resize the window
to where it should be for the other monitor.

Sorry, but this is all I have to offer.
