Clicking on Office Online help results reuses open browser windows

When searching through help in Office 2003 documents, the results include
links to Microsoft Office 'Assistance' and 'Training' web pages. Basically,
these are great, and have helped me immensely to get more out of my office
use, but it's extremely annoying that they use IE browser windows I've
already got open, rather than opening new windows. I have to go back to the
window/web site I was previously on once completed with the training. On
some occassions, I've had to re-log in, or have been in the middle of filling
in online forms, which of course had to be started again. Any chance there's
a setting I can change to prevent this, or will an enhancement be required?

There's a filed in the top right corner of Word that displays 'Type a
question for help' when I hover over it. After entering my question and
pressing enter, the hyperlinked results appear in a pane titled "Search
Results" to the right of my document. Right clicking on any of the links in
that pane does nothing. No menu appears from which I would be able to choose
to open in a new window.
