On the Tools menu, click Options. Click the View tab. Clear the

I recently upgraded from Word 97 to Word 2003. I have a feeling
this
is an easy fix, so here goes.

Every time I open a new Word document (i.e. double clicking on an
email
attachment, double clicking on a file in a folder), Word opens a new
instance of the application. What I was used to with Word 97 was
new
documents opening in a new window, in the same instance of Word. I
want this functionality back.

Also, as an aside, when is Word going to get with the program and
have
tabs for documents rather than making us deal with the stupid
'Window
-> Arrange All'?
