I recently installed Windows XP and MS Office 2003 Pro. The annoying thing
that happens with Word is that most of the time the entire program will close
even though I only close down the open file only. I try to be careful not to
close the program by only using the tiny "close window" x for the file only,
not the large X.

Any hints? What am I missing here? Thanks.

Answering my own post - as I'm new to this forum, I should have searched for
the answer, since this seemed like something other users were experiencing.

So thanks to the kind folks who shared this link:

It did the trick. I'm happy, the boss is happy.
