I recently installed a second monitor and I have lost the ability to open two
(or more) different word documents at the same time. When I open the second
document, it appears where the first opened document used to be and the first
one "disappears" (i.e., I have to go back to the original source/folder to
pull it out again and, when I do, the previously opened document disappears
and on and on......).

Do you have "Windows in Taskbar" checked on the View tab of Tools | Options?

Now I do but it doesn't make a difference, I can't open multiple Office
documents.

What does the Window menu in Word show? If you are running Windows XP, do
you have the option set to "stack" documents on a single Taskbar button?

Thanks, for whatever reason, everything is working fine right now.
