| 707543 | 2008-09-24 18:24:00 | When my partner opens "my documrnts" the contents show in full screen but if she opens it from OE to look for something the box that appears only has very few icons showing and the box wont stretch to show more.Where can I change this setting ? | kjaada (253) | ||
| 707544 | 2008-09-25 10:46:00 | Do you mean the insert file window from OE is too small? Can you see scroll bars? What happens if you select the view to be details rather than icons? I think this option is one of the icons on the right. | Jen (38) | ||
| 707545 | 2008-09-25 17:28:00 | Yes that is what I am talking about.The box is so small and it only shows 3 icons out of heaps Details list is about 7 out of the heaps.Yes I can see the scroll bar. There is no provision for resizing at all that I can find. |

| 707546 | 2008-09-25 18:41:00 | When it's open at its (small) size, you could try physically dragging the box to the edges of the screen on all sides, rather than simply maximising the box using the (top right) button. Then close and re-open and see if the setting is retained. Cheers. | A Team (13613) | ||
| 707547 | 2008-09-25 19:10:00 | It will not drag out to a bigger size and there is no maximize in the menu. I wonder if it is anything to do with the window scheme ? |

| 707548 | 2008-09-26 09:16:00 | What window scheme are you using? Can you see at the bottom right corner of the window a couple of small diagonal lines? Put your cursor over that and try dragging out the corner at a 45 deg angle towards the bottom right of your screen. I managed to resize my window that way and it remembered that size the next time I opened it up. |

If you choose list as the view you can see about 18 file names and scroll for the rest. HTH |

| 707552 | 2008-09-26 21:46:00 | There are no diagonal lines or anything in what I see (it as described by jinja_thom)and I am now sure there is no way to stretch it..We will live with it.(It may help me persuade her to give linux or Thunderbird a try) | kjaada (253) | ||
