Apple - Window out of visible workspace range / unreachable
I was puzzled and annoyed by this problem too in Mac Snow Leopard. The application (MS Word) has a solution. Open file that is not visible. Go to menu Window-->Zoom Window, which then brings that file up front and center.
I have the same problem when using some--not all--external monitors with my 2011 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard. The only "solution" I've found is the following:
- Select the file that's off screen (from the Window menu in Word), so that the focus is on that file.
- Press cmd+S to make sure the file is saved.
- Press cmd+W to close the file.
- Reopen the file.
The file reopens on my laptop screen and all is well again. It's not pretty, but it gets your file back where it belongs reasonably quickly.
The easiest solution is to change the resolution of the screen, because this resets all window positions.
