I open Firefox then I open Word and do "File: Open". I can move the Open

Just tried that and it does work. Using WIN 7 pro..

Mind you I don't use Microsoft office we used Kingston office which is
every bit as good and free in some versions..

That's exactly the problem. Windows doesn't let you move the Word
parent window, give me a good reason why you can't. Other desktop
enviroments can manage it so there is nor programming or technical
reason why it can't be done. Ergo windows is broke.
