The default action in the Windows file association for .doc files
is probably set to "new" instead of "open". Try re-registering
Word as described at

I have an EU on Word97. When they open a word document from explorer, it
opens the document with a new DOCUMENT# (ie...DOCUMENT1, DOCUMENT2) and not
the original file name. When they open the file from within Word when its
running, the file opens with the correct name.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!
