Dear rui1965 at voila.fr, this does happen on LXDE and XFCE as well.

Your suggested solution does not address the weird window behaviour that kicks
in when you restore a previously maximized window after minimizing it. The
window would restore itself as unmaximized, yet it would keep `thinking` it was
maximized. You'd need a few extra clicks on the maximize button to fix this.
The only way to overcome this is to set a few extra geometry override options:

Initial placement -- Maximizing.
Horizontally maximized -- Force, No.
Vertically maximized -- Force, No.

Prior to applying these options, make sure all of your Office apps start with
their windows NOT maximized (this state is stored in the registry)

You should get full-screen Office windows that can't be resized, but can be
moved across the screen and correctly minimized and restored.

At least in Office 2010, another rule should be set to prevent the
Copy-Paste-Cut buttons from disappearing from the right-click context dialogue
the next moment after you hover your mouse button over them.

Window Class: Regular Expression
.*\b(winword.exe|excel.exe|powerpnt.exe|winword.exe|powerpnt.exe|excel.exe)\b.*

Match whole window class: Yes

Window type: Dialogue

Then switch to the last tab (Appearance & Fixes) and set the focus loss
prevention to the _HIGHEST_ available level.

Now the Cut, Copy and Paste buttons won't fade away when you hover over them,
but the rest of the dialogue will (after placing the cursor over one of the
buttons for more than a second)
