how do you get Word to open documents in it's own window(s)?
 
I have Word Documents hyper-linked in Excel cells. When I click the Excel
hyper-linked cell, it opens the Word Document(s) but in the same window as
Excel Workbook. The Word Document takes over the Excel Workbook window and
minimizes the Excel Workbook. If I click the back button on the Word Document
it Restores the Excel Workbook but places the workbook on top of the Word
Document. If I close the open Word Document it leaves the Excel Workbook
minimized. In order to get back to Excel Workbook, I have to click on the
task bar and Restore it that way.
How do I get the Word Document(s) to open in their own window while leaving
the Excel Workbook open (maximized)?
This problem does not happen when NotePad Text files are hyper-linked to
Excel.
