It is rare that a new instance of Word is opened. Rather, a separate window
on the task pane is opened.

Tools Options View
Uncheck "Windows in Taskpane"

Hi there,

MS Office 2003 (11.6359.6360) SP1

I am totally new to MS Word and learning all the way.

Is it so that for every document which I open, a new instance of Word has
to be opened?
Can I set Word that it only opens one time but with different documents to
be open.

I don't want Word as such to open for every document I have opened.

I hope my question makes sence to you.

Regards,
Deon
