Default Documents opening in multiple instances, I want one instance

I'm not familiar with Opera or Firefox, but from your description it
seems as if the SDI interface, which allows you to click buttons for
the various document windows on the taskbar should work equally well.

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.

That worked, thanks a lot.

Now, are there tabs in Word 2003?

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'?
