Suzanne,
The 'Tools' bit is a red herring. Your assumption about 'More Windows' only
appearing on the Window Menu if you have more than nine windows (not
documents) open is correct.
104,
AFAIK there is no way to resize the dialog box. It is one of many that are
like this. I accept it's rather poor design / implementation but is it
really such a big problem in your normal use of Word?

Enjoy,

I don't see any Window commands in the Tools category of the Customize
Keyboard dialog, either. I'm asking you where you are seeing this menu
option you describe as "Tools: Window: More Windows." There are no Window
commands on the Tools menu and no "More Windows" command on my Window
menu,
though I'm willing to accept that if I had more than, say, nine documents
open at once, there might be.

Suzanne,
I belevie you are missing the "Keyboard:" part of the message.
Tools/Customize has a Keyboard button at the bottom.

I'm confused about where you're seeing this list. I don't have a
Window
command on the Tools menu in Word 2003, nor is such a command listed
in
the
Tools category in the Customize dialog. Are you perhaps referring to
the
Window menu on the Menu Bar?

The "opened-documents list" is at e.g.: Microsoft Office Word 2003:
Tools: Window: More Windows.
To restate or summarize a prior thread of helpful postings: Maybe
you
can't increase the length of the opened-documents list, but you can
make it a tiny bit easier to get to such list, by assigning a
"macro" or key-combination shortcut to access the list quickly
(which by the way changes the normal.dot template). A way to create
such key-combination shortcut is: Tools: Customize: Keyboard:
Category=All
Command=WindowList
PressNewShortcutKey: Ctrl+Shift+W might be a sample good choice
But there is a remaining problem: now that you can get quickly to
such
opened-documents list (which is entitled "Activate"), the list is
in a tiny box -- 3 inches by 3 inches, thus
precluding seeing all one's documents in one glance,
and precluding seeing the full name of any document that has a long
name.
DOES ANYONE HAVE A SUGGESTION TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM? Thanks.
