How do I open more than one copy of Word (2003) in XP?

NeedWordHelp

I have dual monitors on my work computer and want to open more than one copy
(or incidence) of Word 2003 so that I can have, e.g. on document on one
screen and one on another. Seems like there should be a setting somewhere,
but I can't find it...Any suggestions?

You could create a small VBScript to do this.

Create a file on your desktop called OpenNewWordInstance.vbs and paste the
following into it.

Dim objWord
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = True

When you double click on it a separate instance of Word should be opened.

Do you really want to open two instances of Word or just be able to view two
(or more) documents at once? In order to be able to view multiple documents
at once, from the menu toolbar, select Window -> Arrange All.
