Thanks, I'll go look it up.

Office 2000 is the disk I have, I don't have 2002 or anything higher. I've
seen Word 2002, but not used it. I'm not sure I understand what you meant -
Word 2002 has the option to open documents in a new window or inside the
current one?

Well, sort maybe... go to
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/SDIMDI.htm and click the
link in the next-to-last paragraph ("You can download it from here").

What I don't understand is why you upgraded from one obsolete version
of Word to another obsolete version. Why not use Word 2002 (XP), which
is itself one version out of date? That has the option to open new
windows either way.
