How can I see bottom of dialogue box that is offscreen?

Assuming you have a natively widescreen monitor:

It might sound silly but you need more vertical screen real estate so the only temporary solution would be to rotate your screen by 90 degrees.

Set the orientation to portrait and then reverse the resolution setting. In my screenshot I would need to set the resolution to 1200x1920 if I want to use portrait mode.

The ultimate solution is to get the software fixed or get a monitor with more vertical pixels.

Good luck!

Happens sometimes with programs that use a fixed size of windows, that unfortunately happens to be bigger than your desktop/screen size. Likely a poor programming decision, or written for a different/old version where they assumed a minimum screen size, or some screen setting that could be changed.

• Sometimes the window could be resized and it might work

• Maybe could move the window (maybe using the keyboard ALT+SPACE and arrow keys) to hide the top instead of the bottom

• While using your magnifying workaround, memorize the number of TAB presses it takes to get from one known entry to another one. So maybe clicking on the filename entry, then pressing TAB 5 times will bring you to the Save button where you can press space/enter to save, even though you can't "see" it.

• Change your screen resolution to something bigger (if there is one available), to fit the window. But that's a "poor"/clunky solution.

  Instructions for 8.1 don't seem to be easily available on the windows.microsoft.com website, but they have Vista & 7, they're very similar so should be very similar for 8.1:

  1. Open Screen Resolution by clicking the "Start button", clicking "Control Panel", and then, under "Appearance and Personalization", clicking "Adjust screen resolution".
  2. Click the drop-down list next to Resolution, move the slider to the resolution you want, and then click Apply.
  3. Click Keep to use the new resolution, or click Revert to go back to the previous resolution.

• Or possibly you're not getting your best possible resolution, possibly see "Monitor not displaying correct resolution after Windows 8.1 install" on tomshardware.com (re-install drivers/Catalyst control center).

• Or possibly you have desktop display scaling that's making your screen look "smaller" than it really is, read an older article "Hands-On with Windows 8.1: Desktop Display Scaling" that might be relevant.

• If you have a second monitor, possibly setting it up to be "above" or "below" could let the extra-tall window "spill over" to the other monitor, but that's just an idea

• Best solution's probably getting an updated version of the program that has decent-sized windows. Maybe bug the authors with a bug report, you're probably not the only user with that problem

This is really annoying and even worse if the title bar is outside of screen, so you cannot drag it.

The workaround I've been using is to install AutoHotKey and use EasyWindoDrag script. With that, you can drag the window or resize it by grabbing any part of window (using mouse), no only title bar or a corner. It works on every app I've tried.

As an added bonus, while you see a modal dialog, you can not only move that, but also move other windows of the app, which normally isn't possible.

You should get AHK anyway, it has a lot of cool stuff.
