Whenever users open a second (or third, etc) word document using Word XP, it opens a completely separate instance of Word. Can this be changed to open the documents in the same instance of Word as in previous versions?
 
It does not open a completely separate instance. It's called document interface. It's either single or multiple. In Word XP, you can change the setting under Tools-Options, View tab. Uncheck "windows in taskbar".

It is not possible to change this setting in Word 2000, and the only workaround I've seen sucks. Sorry--just saying what I think. Anne Troy
