Office 2008: make windows open "maximized" / zoomed

I use RightZoom and have it set to load on startup.

I've noticed that Office 2008 in particular -- whether it be Entourage or Word (or any other piece of the suite) -- tends to not care what the last used window size and position was. Every time I open the program, the window appears large, but in the middle of the display -- not "maximized" in the sense that its top border is even with the bar, and its bottom border is more or less even with the bottom of the screen. It's annoying.

Entourage refuses to properly full-zoom at all, even if I'm clicking away at the zoom button.

Anyone have any idea on how to change that behavior?

 

well according to all the new Windows 7 commercials, just tell MS about their stupid programming, and in 20 years they'll release a version with your fixes in them.

 

Thanks, will get right on that.

Anyone have any suggestions I could try, say, tomorrow?

 

Stop using Microsoft Products?

 

I like Office (and Windows 7, for that matter). I'm simply looking for some ideas on how I might do something as simple as make sure window sizes/positions are remembered.

 

what we are trying to say... is I don't think there is a way because MS didn't program it that way.
