So Jezebel, this is a normal occurrence and I can't do anything to stop it?
Thanks

Same issue: there is only one instance of Word running; it gets activated
when you open a document.

No. Just open from the folder directly. Have a desktop icon that goes
directly to my documents folder. Once there, I click to open. I could
technically click on all but one of them and minimize, and when that last
one
would be accessed, they would ALL open.
Thanks

It's not the document that is minimized, but Word. By the sounds of it,
you
are using Windows Explorer to open your files: you browse to a folder
then
double-click on the filename. Explorer then activates (ie restores) Word
to
open that file.

I may have more than one document open but minimized and when I go to
open
another from a folder, any document that is minimized also pops up. Is
there
anyway to stop that? I may have more than one minimized but any that
are
minimized will always come up if I open another.
