Word Window moving off of dual monitors

I have a dual monitor setup with the primary to the left of the
secondary monitor. Sometimes when initially opening Word it will appear
just of screen at the top left corner of the Primary monitor. I can
bring it back on-screen by maximizing it from the taskbar, but it
disappears off-screen when I restore it. The only way to bring it back
is to change the monitor settings to temporarily place the secondary
monitor at the top left corner of the primary. Then Word appears back
on the secondary monitor. I can then change the settings to move the
secondary monitor back to the right of the Primary and Word follows it.
Is there a way to prevent this? or a better way to bring Word back
where it belongs? Thanks much!!

Sounds like you are using your video card drivers to accomplish your
dual monitor setup. You should check with your video card and/or video
chipset manufacturer.

If using a dual vid.card and its associated software/drivers, this is
usually a function of the software setup/config
