Word 2007 'ghost' page

H,

I am running Windows 7 32bit with Office 2007 Student.

Whenever I open a saved Word file a second 'ghost' blank Word file opens as well. This second file is a blank document and the page and tool-bar are 'greyed' out. The tabs on the tool-bar do operate but that is all, the tool-bar itself is frozen.

Closing this 'ghost' file has no impact on the already open document file and closing that file has no impact on the 'ghost' file, that remains open. 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Does the same apply if you start Word, then open the doc?

No, if I start Word first then open any saved doc it opens normally with no 'ghost' file.
