minor inconvenience opening file

[Jeff]

Using Word 2002 and Word 2007 in W 7.
If a file is minimized in Word, and I happen to double click on a
different doc file elsewhere, Word will open the new file but will also
restore the minimized file forcing me to later re-minimize it.

Can Word be made to open the new Word document without also restoring
the previously minimized doc?

Thanks, Jeff

I have Word 2007 on Vista and that does not happen to me.
Maybe having Word 2002 and Word on the same OS is a factor.
