Q: Word 2011 "save as" screen too large
After upgrading to El Capitán my word documents get hidden behind the Dock when I try to "save as." I have to "save as" and then click an arrow on the new screen that comes up to change the location, click it again, and then I can actually save the document because the page moves to be in front of the dock.
The open document also has no red, yellow, green dots on the upper left corner. The top tool bar (to minimize or close the page) is not available on new documents and the page ATTACHES ITSELF TO THE TOP TOOLBAR so I cannot even move it around. After clicking on Windows/Zoom and it fixes itself. I should not have to do this!
Help!!!!!!!
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

So are you taking the cursor to the right edge of the Save As dialogue box, then hold the shift key down and move the cursor to the left,
the save as dialogue box should now reduce in size proportionally in width and height.
The alternative would be to set the dock preferences to automatically hide and show the dock. Whilst the dock is hidden, carefully place the cursor
at the bottom of the screen, hopefully you should see a little upward pointing arrow, when you see that you can drag the bottom of the dialogue
box up. Just so you know I have tested these methods, and they work. you can also set Dock preferences to allow you to double click a windows title bar to minimize it. What are the options under the View menu item.
