Guest demurf Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I have XP 2002 SP3 and I am running Word 2003 and IE 2007. When I open a new document in Word, Word raises all of the open documents to the top of my desktop, even if they are minimized. Also, when I open a new document from a website, if all of the open Word documents are minimized, Word will highlight an open document in my start pane and wait until I click on the highlighted document in the start menu to unminimize it before it opens the new document. Any idea on how to prevent both of these actions?

You might try posting in an Office or Word group for more help with this. (and fyi, I think you mean "foreground" and not "forefront: :-) )
