Work out the width of the office toolbar and the width of the start bar then position the page in the middle of the screen with the height of the toolbar around the edge that way no matter what axis they decide to position either bar on it wont matter.
Yes you'll have a problem if they put one bar on top of the other or if their bar goes double height and you'll have two thin blank spaces but its worked for me in the past.

If you put the office toolbar or the taskbar on the left or top of the screen, there doesn't seem to be a way to find that out through JavaScript. If the users need to use Office on a regular basis, as many people do, then there is no reason why they should not be allowed to use the office toolbar. There is also no reason why users who use both Macs and Windows should not want to put the taskbar at the top of their screen. Both of these situations will cause problems if you try to use moveTo(), or moveBy() to maximize the window. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any other obvious way of doing it.
