You really maximized the window--I was guessing that you made it very large.

Try file|open
alt-spacebar
select Restore

(If you can see the title bar, you can rightclick on that and see that menu,
too.)

Then resize the way you want.

Does that mean you solved your problem???

I'm kind of confused.

Did you try the alt-spacebar stuff?

That resizable File|open dialog were introduced with xl2002 (IIRC). I've never
had trouble resizing by grabbing an edge.

The click and grab does not work with this type of window for some reason.
This there a was to set it back to its default set?

You can resize by grabbing any edge and click and drag.

If you can't see the file|open title bar, try this:
alt-space bar
type m
use the arrow keys to move the dialog and hit enter when you're happy with its
position.

Hi, This is a really trivial question but hopefully someone can help me. Many
moons ago I maximised my FileOpen window so I could see all the "detailed"
information. Now I do not need this window so large, but I cannot find a way
to restore it back to it's original size. The diagonal lines in the bottom
right hand corner are nolonger there/visable and I have tried grabbing the
screen in different areas as well without success. This problem is the same
for FileSave or Save As
