I need to find how to get tabs back on start bar for multiple Wor.

[Calyr Elf]

I used to be able to click the tabs on the start bar to switch back and forth
to different word documents. Now, I don't have that option. The new version
of MS word just puts all the docs into one task bar that I have to minimize
and re-enlarge between docs. I hate it. How do I get the old style tabs back
to have a separate tab on the start bar for each separate document? Thanks a
bunch! (PS, talk tech to me like I was a five year old, k? Thanks!

It could be the Windows setting to Group similar documents.

Right click on the Start button, choose properties, then Taskbar and uncheck the 'group...' choice.

If it's inside of Word 2007
Office Button=>Word Options=>Advanced (Alt, F, I, A)
and scroll down to the Advanced Display area and turn on
[x] Show all windows in the Taskbar.

If this is Word 2003, check the box for "Windows in Taskbar" on the View tab
of Tools | Options.

In Word 2007, it's Office Button | Word Options | Advanced | Display: "Show
all windows in the Taskbar."
