Having several documents in one Window.

[Jimmy Clay]

Hello, I'm working on a macro that will allow me to compare three
documents. I take the first document, and from it two other documents
are generated. Those two (both are text files) are opened up in Word,
the macro will arrange them on my screen so the first document takes
up the left half of the screen and the other two take up the right
half of the screen. Of those second two documents, one takes up the
top portion of the right half of the screen and the other the bottom.

That's what I'm trying to do and for the most part it's working. But
now I'd like to fine tune my macro so it'll work just a little better.
Here's my problem:

Each document wants to open in its own Window. And when they arrange
on my screen, I actually have three Word Windows showing. Three
Windows, each with it's own menu bar and status bar. I'd like for the
documents to all be in one Window and the arrangement to occur in that
Window.

I'm using Word 2007 and XP.

I'm pretty sure that a week or so ago, when I first created this
macro, they were in one Window, now they are not. I'm not sure what
changed.

Sorry, I figured this out.
I went to "Word Options" > "Advanced" > "Display." Then unlicked the
"Show all windows in the Taskbar."
