Microsoft Word stays minimized when opened

Question

Whenever I open a document on Microsoft Word the document stays small no matter what I do. I've tried clicking the maximum button and dragging it to make it bigger but neither are responsive. Anyone had any ideas on how to fix it?

       

Solution

This has been driving me crazy for days and nothing I found online was helping, but I finally got it.

• Close any open Word documents
• Open a new, blank Word document
• Make it the size you want it to be
• Close Word (it will prompt you to save the blank document but you don't need to)
• Open a Word document; it should be the size you want!

Hope this works for others. I was going out of my mind!

Wasn't Word originally made for PC? :P

Dragging it does nothing

Dragging it does nothing, it still stays the same size with only about 1/4 of the document showing.
