I suspect that you are opening these documents from Windows Explorer instead
of Word and that the file associations have been damaged so that the default action for documents is New instead of Open. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ReRegisterWord.htm for instructions on reregistering Word to reset the file associations. If this is not the answer, then you may have a virus that is causing Word to save all files as templates instead of documents. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Suzanne,
I tried to fix it from the explorer folder options , it didn't work. Then I tried your winword /r command to register the word. Now the title shows the file name. "Suzanne S.

Suzanne
Now I have a new problem , which I never had in Office 2000 , or word 95 / 97... I open a first document a.doc by double clicking the file , then minimize the window. After that I open a second document b.doc by double clicking the file. The first word document window gets restored when the second document gets opened. This is a strange behaviour that I never saw. Do you know the solution ? Really appreciates your help. "gbp" wrote: Thanks Suzanne, I tried to fix it from the explorer folder options , it didn't work.

If I uncheck "windows in the taskbar" all the windows open in one single
window. I would like to keep that option. I am refering to Office 2000. Where you open each word file in a separate window and minimize it. In Office 2003 when I open a document the following is happening 1.it restores a minimized word document 2.then invokes a new word window 3.the document is openend in the new word window. 4. Now I have two word documents that are visible on the desktop. I wanted only the second one to be on my screen.

The Windows in taskbar option was introduced with Word XP (2002). It was not
present in Word 2000. If you had separate Word windows open in Word 2000, they were separate independent instances of Word. Word 2000 operated like Word 2003 with the taskbar option unchecked. The separate windows in Word 2003 are part of the same instance of Word and behave like you have described. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org gbp wrote: If I uncheck "windows in the taskbar" all the windows open in one single window.

The separate windows in Word 2000 were *not* separate instances of Word.
Quoting from a MS training doc: "Other Office 2000 applications (Microsoft Access, Excel and PowerPoint) handle SDI slightly different [sic] than Word 2000. They utilize a modified version of SDI. Documents are trapped in an MDI frame, but are listed in the task bar individually. You can ALT + TAB through the documents." "SDI cannot be disabled in Word 2000 because it is the basis for the Word 2000 application and uses 'true' SDI. However, other Office applications that do not utilize 'true' SDI can disable it by removing the checkmark next to the option Windows in Taskbar." -- Suzanne S.

never used it at all and would never have been able to support it if not for the training docs MS sent us before it launched. -- Suzanne S.
