I keep my different windows of Word documents maximized almost all the time. But when I switch between different windows in Word 2013, it often opens that window as a very tiny window. This is true whether I switch through the Nextwindow (which I've assigned to F2, easier to hit than control F6) or through alt tab. And its true whether the various windows are of different documents or multiple views of the same document.



This doesn't happen consistently, but it happens a lot (and it seems to be happening more, recently, maybe half the time). But I can't discern any pattern to when it occurs. And it used to open that window as a "restored" window that was maybe much of the screen (but I preferred to maximize it); now it opens it as a tiny restored window where all I see is a bit of the title bar. The net result is that every time I switch windows, I now have to maximize it. When you're switching a lot, that's a lot of extra keystrokes and interferes with my effectiveness a lot.

Any help would be appreciated. Getting the restored window to be larger, as it used to be, would be some help; at least I could work with it, but getting it to keep the windows always maximized is what I really want. Thank you.
