Word 2003 - Open A Window for Each Document?

[Charlie Chapman]

I have Word 2003 and when I open multiple documents, Word now open them in separate
windows - instead of opening the new document in the same windows and hiding the current
one. Then instead of being able to close Word with one click which closes all open
documents, I have to close each document's window separately. Prior to upgrading to 2003,
all documents would open in the same window and I could close all by just clicking the X
in the upper right corner. It still works this way with Excel 2003, but not with Word. How
do one accomplish the old behavior in Word 2003 - I checked thru Options but did not see
an item for this issue?
Thanks
Charlie

Hi, Charlie,

The option to change is in the upper right corner of the View tab, "Windows
in Taskbar". I know, it doesn't make any sense to me, either....

Thanks Jay. I certainly would never have figured that out. It would have
been nice to include document tabs in the status bar like WordPerfect 11
does. Also, a help file search for "Windows in Taskbar" returns nothing on
this option.

Time to fire off a note to "Customer Feedback!"

Thanks Jay,
That works and I would never have figured that out. One after effect of unchecking that
option is the Task Pane operation. I like the Task Pane to close once I open a document
(it normally does that in both Word and Excel)). but when you uncheck the Windows in
Taskbar option, the Task Pane stays open and you have to close it manually. I tested this
a number of time and that is the effect of unchecking the Windows in Taskbar option.
Really odd!
