I see it in Word at work, so I think it must be a design decision. Somewhere someone once thought that the display width and height were actual document qualities, as opposed to user preferences. I only use Word on one machine. But I see the result of this inane model whenever I receive a document from someone who had a bigger screen. The outside outline retains my previous setting (usually partial screen), but the document itself expands to whatever the other person wanted. At least that is what I think is happening--otherwise the sizing is truely random. This quality always makes me want to shrink my documents to near invisibility before I send them.There's stuff above here
