And to confirm that only one instance of Word is running, use the
Windows Task Manager. Look at the Processes tab, where you'll see only
one occurrence of winword.exe.

This is the new multiple document interface introuduced with Word
2002,
which makes more sense if you are using Windows XP. There is only
one
instance of Word running. To have all the windows in one apparent
instance,
see Stefan's reply.

Update - and this is really bizarre.
Although there are four instances of Word open in the Task Bar,
when I
look under the "Window" menu in each instance, all 4 documents are
listed under each instance. Weird! I only want one instance -
help!!!

I recently upgraded from Word 97 to Word 2003. I have a feeling
this
is an easy fix, so here goes.
Every time I open a new Word document (i.e. double clicking on an
email attachment, double clicking on a file in a folder), Word
opens
a new instance of the application. What I was used to with Word
97
was new documents opening in a new window, in the same instance
of
Word. I want this functionality back.
Also, as an aside, when is Word going to get with the program and
have tabs for documents rather than making us deal with the
stupid
'Window - Arrange All'?
