How to stop Vista from abbreviating drop down menus?

Vista abbreviates my drop down menus. For instance, in IE when I click
favorites, I get 12 items, until I click the little caret like characters at
the bottom of the window, then all the favorites are displayed. Same in
Excel, Word and so on - Help appreciated, IM

That is a setting within Word and Excel, not a function of Vista.
In Word, go to the TOOLS menu, choose CUSTOMIZE, then in the OPTIONS tab, click the box for "always
show full menus".
Same for Excel.

IE is a part of Word and Excel? Since when?

In IE , Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > Clear 'Enable
personalized favorites menu'.
