As anyone every had Word open in the background behind an excel application. When my user clicks on starts word when excel is open Word is always launched in the backgound.

This user has also noticed that when using outlook 2000 not all of his reminders are brought to the front of the screen either. Sometimes they are in the background as well.

Office 2000 All updates from office.microsoft.com
Windows XP SP2 All updates from windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Thanks

Try creating a new shortcut and having the user use that.
If that doesn't work, add on a switch to the shortcut such as:
/n = Word opens with no new doc
/w = Word opens with a blank doc
