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)

    This works ONLY for that one time. When I close out of Word and then open a new document or an existing one again, the screen goes back to being too large. All this started with El Capitan upgrade. I now have a new desktop and it is still that way - so the upgrade itself does not appear to be the problem -- El Capitan combined with Word 2011 may be ;-(

     

    Thanks for the idea!

    Yes, you are correct - one time fix only! But I have to say this was happening to me in Yosemite too. I think it is more a MS problem than an El Capitaine problem. We are being forced to upgrade to Office 2016 for Mac, which I just did since I had a free subscription to Office 365 from work. That did it. Sigh.

    Thanks. I hate being forced into anything :-(  but I believe you. I may have to succumb too! Thanks for that info. It forces me into a new place.
