Every time I open the Word.exe I get a new Document2, Document3,
Document4... (currently on Document16). I thought there was a place that
you
can remove the old temporary files so it will go back to Document1 but I
am
unsure where that is.

You have to close down Word _and_ Outlook to reset to Document1.
(Sometimes, if
there's been a massive crash, for example, you may need to reboot Windows)

When Outlook is used as the email editor it locks Word open. That's why the
document numbering doesn't reset.

Outlook! That was the vital clue thanks Cindy. I am running Word 2003 &
Outlook 2007 Beta 2.
I have Outlook starting on logon and although I am not editing (nor have
even opened) any Outlook message,
if I open Word the default is Document2. If I close Outlook and re-open Word
then Document1 appears.
