I typically have at least 3 documents open in Word 2003. When I close one
document, instead of going to another Word document I am switched to another
open program even though Word remains open. Excel does not do this. What
setting do I need to change to prevent this from happening?

Thanks!

I don't have that problem, and I think it's due to running in MDI
mode, which I think comes from unchecking "windows in taskbar"
under the General Options tab.

Then I created a "Next_Window" macro which, via toolbar button or
hotkey, cycles through the open documents.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the suggestion. What program is the general options tab you are
referring to in and did you create the next window macro in Word?

Thanks,

Naima
 
I'm running Word 03, same as you. Tools Menu / Options / etc...

The macro is Word VBA, simply:

winNum = ActiveWindow.Index
If Windows.Count > ActiveWindow.Index Then
ActiveWindow.Next.Activate
Else: Windows(1).Activate
End If
System.Cursor = wdCursorNormal

Not sure why I added the cursor command.
