Just out of curiosity, try this to see what happens:

Open at least one more program besides Word, right-click on the taskbar at
the bottom of your screen and click "Cascade Windows". See if you can now
grab the Title bar of each window and resize the Word window. Other than
that, I don't have any other ideas. I search the Microsoft Knowledge base
and didn't see anything specific.

By the way, which version of Word and Windows are you using?
