MS Word html Opeing IE -Why does it kill Word?

Hi,
I when I open a file with an htm extension in Word, and click on one of the links, it opens up that link's page in IE--which is fine, I want that.

But then in the taskbar, I go back to Word, and the document is gone!! If I click 'back' on IE, then the doc magically appears back in Word. Now, I understand there is some 'spawn' or 'open in new window' setting, but it seems that that is an IE setting--not a Word setting. When I'm in Word, I expect the doc to be there, period. If I happen to click a link, it's fine that it opens a new IE window, but I still want to be able to look at them both at the same time. How can I make this happen without editing the link, since I want this as a global setting for Word. Thanks,
jsteph
