Morrowind still has many modders working on improving the game experience [even rewriting the engine ie OpenMorrowind]
In any case this issue and many others is fixed by the current
Morrowind Code Patch
http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/19510/?
From readme:
- Book and scroll scaling fix. Makes books, scrolls and the journal scale to fit wider screens by examining the screen height instead of the width. Fixes issues with multi-monitor setups, where the book would be larger than the screen, with all buttons off-screen.
If you are interested in getting the most out of the game a new youtube channel has been started which provides an immense amount of information and links for Morrowind and its mods.
