Userform size on different PCs/different resolutions- yikes!
Using Word97 (lowest common denominator of my target audience) on Win 95
On my machine, my standard desktop setting is 1152x864 resolution- so when
I went to develop my largest userform, I figured most users have at least
800x600, so I set the userform width x height (properties) to 770 x 590 (as
not to take up the whole screen, even though the form is modal).
When I run my program at my current resolution, it still takes up most of
the screen, and when I tested it on a machine even at 1024x768 the userform
ended up larger than the visible area of the screen. I am not resizing the
userform via code or anything.
Any idea what is going on? I've spent so much time developing this as is
(my first Word project), and I've used every inch of real estate on the
form, I can't imagine trying to go back and shrink my contents and the
form- I'd rather have someone provide a magical explanation of how I'm
missing some simple setting and my form will work _perfectly_ on a 800x600
box...
