I am new to this, came from office 97 and windows 98.
I work pretty much in windows explorer and typically just double clicked the
word files to open them. In windows 98 I would double click and get all my
files in one word application. Now I get a new word application window each
time I open up a different document. I know I can just open files through
word itself, but I prefer to work through explorer. Does anyone know where I
would change this default?
 
If Word 2002/2003:
Tools > Options > View
uncheck "Windows in Taskbar"

You are not opening multiple copies of Word, simply showing each document on
your taskbar.
