I am running Word 2002 SP3 on Windows XP SP2. A few minutes after minimizing
Word to the Windows taskbar it just disappears. After Word is re-started it
opens with the next consecutive document, for example Document 22, as though
Word were never closed. The only way to begin again with Document 1 is to
shut down. Excel is running properly.

I have un-installed Office and re-installed. I have also tried the
suggestion in article 555169 but nothing has helped. Word was running
properly until 2 weeks ago....

Has anyone seen this happen....
