From: aasghar on 16 Mar 2010 09:38 Whenever I open a Word document, it starts a new instance of MS Word. What I want is that each time a document is opened, it should be shown as a tab in the existing document window. How can I achieve this? -- aasgha
From: DeanH on 16 Mar 2010 09:48 No, Word does not do this. What you can do is check / uncheck the Windows in Taskbar check box under Tools, Options, View. This will toggle the view of Word on the taskbar, ie a "tab" for each document open (checked) or one tab but a list of open documents on that single tab (unchecked). The aboe is for 2003 and prior, if you have 2007 use the Word Options button for find this option.

To add to the replies of others. There are third party tools which provide such features. One example of such a free tool is OfficeTab (just do a Google search). As such tools do not have access to Word's internal window drawing routines, they have to overwrite them to achieve their functionality. As a result they tend to be unreliable and unstable.
