Menu bar still hidden for Word in full screen (Monterey 12.1 Mac OS)
Microsoft Word still hides menu bar in full screen on Monterey 12.1 Mac OS. I turned off this new feature of macOS 12 "Automatically hide and show the menu bar in full screen " in System Prefer...
Tj192627 This 'solution' does not work. I auto-hide dock: still no menu bar in word in full screen (unless I hover over the bar).
Johannes305 You need to enter Mission Control (F3 key), create a new Desktop screen and drag&drop the word to that screen. Then go to that Desktop from Mission Control, press OPTION+SHIFT and hover over the fullscreen button, then select "Zoom" in the little popup that appears. This will maximise the window, and if you have hidden the dock it will cover the entire screen except the Menu Bar, otherwise it will not cover/auto-hide the dock. This is a possible workaround, but it doesn't put the window in fullscreen. It's just zoomed.
