Word 2003 maximized window dips below bottom of the screen

I've a brand new Inspirion with a fresh, clean, spanking
new install of Windows XP on it.

I've Word 2003 (Office Basic Edition).

When I maximize the window - it doesn't fit on the
screen. The top of the Word window is about a title bar
depth down from what it should be and the bottom of the
window, with the status bar there, vanishes below the
edge of the screen.

Right now, for example, if I maximize Word I can still
clearly read "Community Newsgroups" in IE's title bar
above the Word title bar.

It's a pain. Not only does it look funny and distract me
but I do use the bottom status bar!

This would most likely be a display setting. There should be some controls
for centering the display.

Hiya,

But it's only Word 2003 and only some of the time. Is
there a Word-centric display setting?

No. You might try rebuilding the Word Data key as detailed in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm

Word is exceptionally demanding on graphics drivers. This is almost
certainly an incorrect graphics driver setting or the graphics driver needs
updating.
