How do I create an icon on my xp pro desktop that will open two Word files?
Thanks.
Howie
 
Hi Howard,

Find the said files with Windows Explorer;
Right click on one of them;
Select "Send to...";
Choose "Desktop (Create shortcut)";
Repeat for the other file.

You can do the above from within Word's Open dialog as well.

Thanks. But I meant one icon that would open both files. Any idea about
that?
 
Hi Howard,

Strange request!

Normally it cannot be done, I think...

But, you could include an AutoOpen macro in File A to open File B whenever
File A is opened. Then put the shortcut to File A on the desktop.
