See if going to Tools/Options/View and the "Windows in Taskbar" option
is what you are looking for.

Greetings!

If I try to open a second word document when one is already open and
minimized in the toolbar Word maxmizes the first and second
documents on my
desktop. How do I get Word to stop maxmizing a word document that
is
minimized in the toolbar when opening a second document?
