Strange behaviour of Word 97 in XP

[tf19]

Have just re-installed XP and find that Word (office 97) is behaving
differently.

Before a button would appear for each Word file open, in the task bar.


Now, as with old versions, there is only one button in the task bar for

the latest file only.


Also


When I clicked Alt F4, this would close the Word file that happened to
be on the desktop, now this closes all Word.


Any clues on how to get Word back to how it was before. I was also
using XP and Word 97, so not sure why this is, but I do remember that
Windows 98 used to behave as XP does now.

Right-click on the Windows taskbar at the bottom of the screen,
left-click on Properties | Taskbar tab | uncheck the "Group
similar taskbar buttons" box | OK.
