Multiple Copies of Word 07 on Taskbar?

[Charliec]

When working in Word 07, and you open multiple documents, a new
version of Word appears on the Taskbar. Is there a way to get Word 07
to have just on occurance of the Word program on the Taskbar and the
various open documents accessible from the View Menu in Word. I tend
to work on a number of documents at one time the the Taskbar really
get confusing.

Thanks
Charliec

Click the Office button, click Word Options at the bottom, click the
Advanced tab, and scroll down to the Display group. Uncheck the option
"Show all windows in the Taskbar".

By the way, what you're seeing now is _not_ multiple copies of the
Word program -- all the documents share a single copy of Word. The
only difference is how they're displayed in the Taskbar, either as
separate buttons or all on one button.

To preempt another question you might have after following Jay's
instructions on how to display a single Word task in the taskbar, to switch
between your open documents, on the View tab, use the Switch Windows
command. If you want to make the command more accessible and visible at all
times, right-click the Switch Windows command and then click Add to Quick
Access Toolbar.
