Word application opens, but not the document

[svein.erik.storkas]

We have Word 2000 installed on our terminal server, and the rest of the
office package is Office 2003.
The problem we have is when clients try to open a word document, only
the application (Word) opens with no documents. But if i minimize the
application and then try to open the same document, it opens in the
minimized word application.

I have installed word with the orktools..

One more thing: We previosly had Word 2003 installed, but we
uninstalled it and replaced it with Word 2000. Could it be some
registry settings that causes this error?

I don't know exactly the cause of the problem, but it seems more than
likely that the combination of Word 2000 and Office 2003 has
something to do with it.

It *is* possible to run multiple version of Office on a single
server, but they have to be installed in a fixed order:
