What are you grousing about? What is stopping you from forming you own
software company? After you take that first step you can have the helm
and steer your tanker on any course you desire.

So I take it by your reply that tabs are not available. This is
stupid. MS is asking for someone to eat their lunch, and I hope
someone does, soon. I'm tired of waiting for the tanker to turn to get
what are very obvious, simple improvements in ubiquitious applications.

Office is in dire need of tabs. I seriously expected Office 2007 to improve
on the window management aspects... it frustratingly has not. You're right--
it's 2006! Come on people!
The inconsistent use of MDI between apps (contrast Word's *real SDI* to
Excel and PowerPoint's *fake SDI* MDI confusing hybrid) is downright
horrendous. A nice tabbed interface would solve everything.

No, what I mean is tabbed pages, like how Firefox and Opera browsers
display numerous web pages - with tabs at the top.

The way that Word makes you go under the "Window" menu to select other
documents that you have open is kind of ridiculous, considering this is
2006.

What tabs? If you mean tab stops, look in Format | Tabs to set tab

That worked, thanks a lot.

Now, are there tabs in Word 2003?

On the Tools menu, click Options. Click the View tab. Clear the

I recently upgraded from Word 97 to Word 2003. I have a feeling
this
is an easy fix, so here goes.

Every time I open a new Word document (i.e. double clicking on
an
email
attachment, double clicking on a file in a folder), Word opens a
new
instance of the application. What I was used to with Word 97
was
new
documents opening in a new window, in the same instance of Word.
I
want this functionality back.

Also, as an aside, when is Word going to get with the program
and
have
tabs for documents rather than making us deal with the stupid
'Window
- Arrange All'?
