Bottom Menu Options are not all in view

Last night I was working on making a head. I don’t know how to explain this but I’ll do my best. The menus at the bottom of the screen are not all in view. I tried to maximize the menu and it takes up the entire screen, I minimize it again and it’s like it was. How do I get all of the options to show up when I go to subsurf and etc. I downloaded the start.blend file available on the blender.org site when it comes to making a head. I’m extremely new so please be as specific as you’re possibly able.

Thanks for the help.

Alien Enigma,

One option - place your mouse over the button window, hold crtl key and use the mouse wheel to zoom in or out the menus. Hold shift and mouse wheel to move up and down, or the mouse wheel by itself to go side to side.

Take a look at this article regarding panels in general.
