Can't resize Word or Excel windows

I am losing my mind. My Word documents open in a tiny window and I can't resize the window and my Excel documents open in a large window, three pages wide and I can't resize that window either. I have not installed anything new, but my system does automatically updates, so there was a security update recently. I am running OS X 10.9.5 and Microsoft Word and Microsoft Word 2008 v. 12.3.6 on an iMac.

This solution still works. I just updated MS Office and this issue seems to happen every time after an update.
