Please try it. The option doesn't exist in Word 2000

>From the MS web site:

"Because Microsoft Word 2000 uses true Single Document Interface (SDI)
technology and no longer supports Multiple Document Interface (MDI), SDI
cannot be turned off in Microsoft Word 2000.

To turn off SDI in Microsoft Excel 2000, Microsoft PowerPoint 2000, and
Microsoft Access 2000, use the following steps:
  1.. On the Tools menu, click Options .

  2.. Click the View tab and clear the Windows in Taskbar check box.

  3.. Click OK .

There is no such option under Tools->Options in Word 2000 only in the other
Office components.
