Minimised Word

Guest

Hi
Word 2003. Windows XP Home.
If I open up a Word doc, it's fine. If I then minimise it (from the top
right of the screen) it 'parks' itself at the bottom of the screen. Fine.
If I then open up another Word document, it opens up the one I just
minimised as well. The previously minimised document is open, and behind the
document I just opened. If I close it, the original document remains open.
How do I stop Word from re-opening a document that I want to remain as
Minimised?

Regards

Tools; Options, forget which tab. Set Show Windows in Taskbar. Different
from what you're seing; will give an icon for each doc.

This wasn't what I was after. The option you give replaces any 'parked'
documents with the new doc you've opened. I want to 'park' a doc, and keep
it parked. I want to open up a new doc, work on it, close it, and still have
the 'parked' doc sitting in the parked position. Is there an option for this?
