I figured out what causes it. Because the anomalous behavior only started
happening when I started using Document Map, I tried an experiment:

1. I open a document, click on View Document Map, and close Word (without
saving).

2. Now, if I reopen Word, it opens with a blank document (and Document Map),
and when I click to open another document, it opens the second one in an
other window.

3. If I close document map before closing, that wierd behavior does not
happen.

Maybe it is a bug associated with Document Map in my 2002.

| | | | When I open Word it opens a blank document 1 - which is normal.
| | | |
| | | | When I then click on "File/Open.." and click on one of my saved
| | | | documents, the new document opens as a 2nd window leaving
| | | | "Document 1" open. This is a new behavior. I am not sure what
| | | | I changed, but I think I recall the saved document replacing
| | | | the unused Document 1 instead of opening a 2nd window. How do I
| | | | get back to that earlier behavior?
