I love the tab feature in Firefox. PLEASE add this to Office and

[jbernhard]

I am a HUGE proprietor of MS products. I love Office and IE and XP -- I am a
MS loyalist!

I have been using Firefox, though, because I LOOOOOVE the tab feature, where
it lets you open multiple sessions inside the same application window, and
they're sortable through tabs at the top of the window.

This type of functionality would be AWESOME in Word, Excel (especially
Excel), PowerPoint, etc., etc., etc.

I am a user who may have 15 to 20 apps open at once, and juggling through my
task bar is tedious.

The tabs in Firefox are a neat idea. Can MS implement this functionality in
their next apps?

Inside the application, click on "Window" the rest should be obvious.

sThat's not even close to the same thing Bob. Tabbed browsing allows you to
do the following:
1. Open multiple pages/documents in the same window without having to run
multiple instances of the program.
2. Creates a "tab bar" with little "tabs" for each page open.
3. Allows you to switch between tabs by using the CTRL+TAB key combination.

For a better idea of how this should be implemented in Office, take a look
at EditPlus - a great programmer's notepad - available at
http://www.editplus.com

Firefox is much better than IE and always will be. It's free, open-source,
supports web standards, gives you useful error messages and is not prone to
any ActiveX-related attacks/viruses.

And, from a personal point of view, tabbed browsing is overrated and is
really a s*cky feature. I use Firefox on occasion but hate the tabbed
browsing crap.
