Multiple instances of Word

I swear I thought there was a setting in the program that would open
multiple Word files in one instance of the MSWord instead of opening
multiple copies of the program. However, I can't find the setting I am
looking for.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Using Office XP.

Tools > Options > View > Windows in Taskbar. Uncheck it to get
multiple documents in one main window.

BTW, the other view (when the setting is checked) doesn't create
multiple copies of the program -- there's only one copy of winword.exe
running -- but each document is give the full set of menus and
toolbars, and each appears as a separate button on the taskbar.
 
Thank you, Jay. Much appreciated.
