Multiple Word Files on Task Bar

[J. Bradley]

I recently upgraded from Word97 to Word2000. I am in and
out of a lot of programs and files all day long so keep a
number of Word files open. Word97 had one icon on the
task bar and the Windows dropdown at the top showed all
the open files. Word2000 puts an icon on the task bar for
each Word file that is open. It really clutters up the
bar and I cannot close Word2000 just one time to shut the
computer down, I have to close each of those icons. I
want just one icon for Word when it is open even with
multiple open files. Can you help?

Try.....

Tools... Options
Hit the View Tab
Clear the Box that says "Windows in Taskbar."
Does that work?

Don, that option doesn't exist in Word 2000. It first appeared in Word 2002.
