is it possible to display full screen on windows 7?

Question

i have recently purchased a new laptop which has windows 7. its great, but the only problem is that the web browser and word etc don't display full screen. help please!

Answer 1

That is not a function of windows, it is a function of the specific programs you are running. Did you press f11 in the browser?

Answer 2

I have Windows 7 on my desktop and the F11 key toggles full screen mode in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. Also, dragging a window to the top of the screen and dropping it there makes it expand to the full size of the screen (which is a bit different than full screen mode, but close). If that's not working for you, there is something else going on, because that should be standard behavior for Windows 7.

Answer 3

As previous posts have mentioned F11 will display your web browser full screen, go into 'view' in word to change the screen view, Here are some other shortcuts that may help: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows7/Keyboard-shortcuts.
