Currently, every time I open a WORD document, my system opens the WORD
software again. As a result, I have multiple WORD programs open at
once. I'd like to have multiple files open in ONE open WORD program.
Help, please! Thx.

In Word 2000 and later, each document opens in its own window; these are NOT
separate instances of Word. If you want all the documents to be in the same
window, in Word 2002 and 2003, you can clear the check box for "Windows in
Taskbar" on the View tab of Tools | Options.
