Situation:  
I have Windows 2000 SP-4 with Word 2000 SP-3 on my PC.
I have one or more Word documents  open and minimized
(appear only as icons on the task bar).  

Problem:  
When I open any other Word document from a directory on
disk (e.g. double click on a *.doc file in an Explorer
window), the previously-opened, minimized document expands
to a window behind the new one.  
This is annoying because it obscures my desktop and
requires me to re-minimize (or close) the previously
minimized document in order to get it out of my way.  

Question:
How do I keep Word from expanding a minimized document
when I open a "new" *.doc file on disk.

Thanks,
Bill Stokes
