Before this my office 2011 works good, it can go fullscreen but after i reset my laptop then my microsoft word also changes.

If I go fullscreen, it will be like that, something hanging. Can it be in full screen just like when my Safari or other softwares are in full screen.. the dock really bother me... 😟

just like this......... no dock...

No it doesn't work like that. (just tried on Office 2011) using the green button I found makes the Office program go full screen and the dock vanishes from view. I have no idea if other versions of Office exhibit the same behavior but 2011 does.

The Dock will always stay there until you choose to hide it.

System Preferences > Dock > Automatically hide and show the Dock

System Preferences : Dock will take care of that issue. What happens if you press control+command+F toggle to enter and exit full screen mode?

Try Word/View/Full Screen. I have Office 2008 and its version of full screen isn't like the full screen of most applications.

You are quite right. I've never had an app push the Dock out of the way before, but Office 2016 does if I click the full expand button for Word.
