Open document
Using Word 2002 in XP
When I open Word it opens a blank document 1 - which is normal. When I then click on "File/Open.." and click on one of my saved documents, the new document opens as a 2nd window leaving "Document 1" open. This is a new behavior. I am not sure what I changed, but I think I recall the saved document replacing the unused Document 1 instead of opening a 2nd window. How do I get back to that earlier behavior? Thanks. -- Jeff Stevens Email address deliberately false to avoid spam |

Jeff,
Go to Tools - options - on the view tab remove the check next to windows on taskbar, top item in column three of the view section. Luc "Jeff" schreef in bericht ...

This will mask but not, I think, change the behavior, which *is* anomalous.
I have to type a space into Document1 to keep it open all day; otherwise it would be closed whenever I open an existing document (though not necessarily when I create a new one). -- Suzanne S.

I figured out what causes it. Because the anomalous behavior only started happening when I started using Document Map, I tried an experiment: 1. I open a document, click on View Document Map, and close Word (without saving). 2. Now, if I reopen Word, it opens with a blank document (and Document Map), and when I click to open another document, it opens the second one in an other window. 3. If I close document map before closing, that wierd behavior does not happen. Maybe it is a bug associated with Document Map in my 2002. | | | "Jeff" schreef in bericht | | | ... | | | | Using Word 2002 in XP | | | | | | | | When I open Word it opens a blank document 1 - which is normal. | | | | | | | | When I then click on "File/Open.." and click on one of my saved | | | | documents, the new document opens as a 2nd window leaving | | | | "Document 1" open.

Anything is possible. Try switching the DM off and see if that makes any
difference. -- Suzanne S.
