Is there a way to open a single occurence of the Word 2003 window when I open
2 or more documents? Whenever, I open 2 or more documents, Word opens for
each document. That is, if I open 2 documents, and then arrange the
documents, I get two sets of toolbars, thus leaving very little room to view
the two documents. Excel 2003 does not do this. If I open more than one
spreadsheet, then Excel opens only once and I can arrange the spreadsheets
within one Excel window and the toolbars are not duplicated. My OS is
Windows 2003
XP.

It's not really more than one instance of Word, just multiple windows; if
you don't like this behavior, clear the check box for "Windows in Taskbar"
on the View tab of Tools | Options.
