Re: 'Full Screen' Mode

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


I should add that it is possible with Word 2003 to have a clear full screen
mode - but as 2007 does not have toolbars it is not possible to turn them
off.

I used to have the function you require. It was called a typewriter.
Things have moved on.

Hi,

I hope that someone can help me with something that has been bugging
me for ages. Now I've found this forum I thought I'd ask.

I want a 'proper' full screen mode in Word 2007. I want to simply see
what I'm typing. I don't want any menus or scroll bars; in particular
I don't want to see the button to press to exit full screen mode. To
be clear i'll repeat: I want to see the page and the words and
NOTHING else.

In my last version of Word I had a full screen mode and the stupid
exit button; you have no idea how much that made me swear. I thought
Word 2007 may have moved on but all I can seem to find is the full
screen 'reading' view. Calling it 'full screen' is literally
incorrect: it is full of menus and controls that hide parts of the
screen and distract me.

Can someone help me find a true 'full screen' mode in 2007? Is such a
thing possible in any word processor? Do people that create word
processors write at all?

Thanks and regards,

Steve
