Keep "Windows in Taskbar" checked in Word, and then use the setting in
Windows that aggregates windows from the same program on the same tab. I
don't have Windows XP, so I can't tell you exactly how to do this, but try
right-clicking on the Taskbar and choosing Properties; then explore the
options.

I was earlier able to show multiple opened documents (inside the Word 2003
window) as tabs at the bottom of the Word Window (near the status bar).
After
a reinstall, I cannot find the option for doing this anywhere.

If I clear the "Windows in Taskbar" checkbox (inside options), the
document
windows are only accessible through the 'Windows' menu item (at the top).
If
I leave it checked, each document has its own tab in the Windows Taskbar.
I
want one tab on the Windows Taskbar (for Word), and then multiple tabs
(for
documents) inside the Word window.

How do I show multiple document windows as tabs inside word 2003?
