It seems to be hard-coded into Windows - no application I've tried will go beyond around 1070 pixels... :-(
Regarding the other suggestions, I was aware of the minimize ribbon option, but in Office 2003, I could hide the title bar, the menu bar and move any toolbar to the side (widescreen display), so I had zero UI interface at the top of the screen and a lot of text was visible onscreen at all times. Now the best you can do is to remove all toolbars except the one that can be shown inside the title bar (allowing only a limited number of toolbar icons) and minimize the ribbon, but that still leaves at least two "lines" of UI at the top of the screen (for some reason the title bar can no longer be hidden using window style). I'm just not very happy with MS allowing so much less customization of their product for experienced users. Still, many thanks for trying to help. --- In power-pro@yahoogroups.com, "brucexs" <bruc...@...> wrote: > > > > --- In power-pro@yahoogroups.com, "philipp_l_kiefer" <philippkiefer@> wrote: > > > > I just did, but it seems to be capped at 1072 for my 1680x1050 resolution. > > 22 extra pixels is not really enough to hide the useless ribbon and ribbon > > tabs of Word 2010 above the top of the screen - what a waste of precious > > vertical screen space... > > > Try for notepad.
