Default Word should have colored tabs for opened documents

In article ,
says...
Please add the worksheet feature of Excel in Word to coordinate the handling
and managing of multiple opened docs. Each document should be a tab inside of
ONE application of Word. Right now it is an absolute PITA to work with say 5
opened documents, especially if I have five or more different applications
running in the background. I know about switching windows but I can skip that
if the tabs are right there. Streamline.

I disagree - in fact, I wish they would change Excel to work the way
Word does. Having each open Word doc in its own program window greatly
simplifies tasks that require viewing 2 or more docs at the same time.

To be honest, though, you would think that the programming whizzes in
Redmond could figure out a way to let the user select either display
method.
