how to open different visio windows in taskbar

[PM12077]

When I open multiple Window in Visio, I want to display them as different
items in the taskbar as I can in Excel. How can I do that?

Hi PM,

You can first start a new Visio instance, then click on your drawing. Not
ideal, but it works.

There may be another way to do this, but I'm not sure.

There's some info on Visio command line arguments here:
http://visio.mvps.org/General_Topics.htm, but I didn't see anything that
looked promising.

Last trick: Go to Tools > Options > Advanced. Click: Put all settings in
Windows registry.

Then you can edit the setting: SingleInstanceFileOpen and set it equal to 1.
You'll have to use RegEdit to do this.
