I am running XP Home SP2 and MS Office 2003. I don't like my buttons being
grouped and I have unchecked "group similar task bar buttons" in the
properties section for the windows task bar.

Other programs have been fine for several months, except for Word 2003. It
has only recently started to group all word documents under the one button
which drives me mad and I can't get it to not do this. I need to alternate
between documents regularly and this makes it impossible. Why is this
happening? Any ideas?

I submitted this question to the MS Word discussion group and it was
suggested that it could be a windows problem and I should post here.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A new instance of Word appears to run when you create or open an additional
document in Word 2000, Word 2002 and Word 2003:
