Many thanks Keith,

I will just have to adjust it each time!!

Bit of a pain - I don't know why it has happened (could be something to do with my silly 'vista' system), but at least I can make it useable now thanks to your advice.

Regards,

Gosh !! - Thank you Keith,

This does seem to work but do you know how I can get it back to arriving like this in the first place?

Many thanks,

Try this:-
Put your cursor on the bottom edge of the frame.
The cursor should change to a double ended arrow.
Left click your mouse button and drag the lower edge down, this should expand the window down, do the same for the left and right side if you need to.

Hi everyone,

I have been using notepad to hold my info when doing look-ups and I found it quite useful but for a couple of days I have been having problems.

The notepad window used to come up as a square space in the middle of the screen where I could see all the info.

It now comes up at the top of the screen as a thin stripe going all the way across and I can only see 3 or 4 lines at a time unless I make it 'whole screen'

I find this really 'user unfriendly' - Does anyone know how I can get it back to how it was and what has changed it?

Many thanks,
