I am running a python script on both my laptop and home computer with:
os.startfile(r'C:\A file.xlsx')
This works great, however I cannot seem to find anywhere on how to make this full size
Any idea on how I can make it full size through python?
I use both Apache OpenOffice and microsoft Excel

You should be able to maximize the window with this:
import win32gui, win32con, os, time os.startfile('C:\PathToFile.xlsx') # Wait as long as needed for the file to open, this value can be adjusted as needed time.sleep(3) # Now maximize the current foreground window (should be the one we care about at this point) hwnd = win32gui.GetForegroundWindow() win32gui.ShowWindow(hwnd, win32con.SW_MAXIMIZE)
