Default How can I make Word stay open(not switch appl)when I close a doc?

When I close a Word (2003) document, the screen jumps back to email or to an
other application, and it is driving me crazy. I often have several word
documents open, and I like to jump from one to another, and this is an added
step.

I think a setting may have changed, because this problem just started
several months ago, although I can't figure it out, and my IT Department has
no answers.

Does anyone know what setting might have changed?

When you have multiple documents open, do you see multiple instances in the
task bar.

I usually don't have the task panel open. What do you mean by multiple
instances?

Hi ?B?TGF1cmE=?=,

What do you mean by multiple
instances?

If you see a button for each Word document in the WINDOWS
task bar (by default, across the bottom of your screen;
contains the Windows START button)?
