Word 2003 opens 2 windows

[Paul Harris]

On some of our computers when you open Word or open a saved document, a seperate blank window also appears. This Window can only be closed by closing the main Word window. Both the computers which have this problem are XP and dual display. Has anyone else seen this problem?

Thanks

I also had this problem. It started when I updated the display drivers for
the Matrox Parhelia.
Not only Word 2003 opened another window, the same happened with Oulook 2003.

See the posting of:
Opening Outlook also causes Word to open (7/14/2004, LindsayBryceson)

The problem was solved after unchecking "Automatically save/restore window
positions" in Matrox Powerdesk->Desktop Management.
