How do I keep Word from expanding a minimized document?

[mdrake]

When I minimize a Word document and open another one (from Explorer or a new
Outlook message) the minimized document is maximized. When I close the
document I just opened this minimized document is there, maximized. I have
Word documents open all the time and this gets very annoying; when I minimize
it, why won't it stay minimized? I understand it from a programming aspect,
but is there any way to stop it from happening?

No, there's nothing you can do to change this behavior.
