I have installed office xp (2002) before i used office 97. in office 97 when
you opened multiple documents they open in one word application window.

I find now using the newer version that each new document opened has its own
word application and when you select arrange all there are two sets of
toolbars and menus which not only takes up window space but is very annoying.

Does anyone know if there is a way of making the new version of word work
the same as the old so that all word documents open in only one word
application window?

If so how?

Thanks in anticipation.

Each document does not have its own application, it is merely a different
interface and makes most sense when used with Windows XP. You can do it the
old way with tools options view and uncheck Windows in Taskbar
