Documents opening in multiple instances, I want one instance
"Robert M. Franz (RMF)" wrote in message
... [I don't feel any need for tabs showing individual documents. Not worth the loss in screen real estate IMHO, and Alt-Tab is quick enough.] No arguments here. TDI and SDI should be a choice. All I know is that regular MDI is all kinds of confusing, unintuitive, and it died 10 years ago. It's one of the worst UI window paradigms ever (not just my opinion... but pretty much every UI expert). But _that_ approach I would like, using tabs in Word: say, in Normal View only, getting one tab for each section. Navigating between them via GoTo seems a lot more clumsy IMHO. It's funny you mention that... I remember Lotus WordPro (AmiPro's successor) back in 1996 had just that very feature. (I used AmiPro in college). It was awesome. Word's Document Map alleviates some pains... but it could ohhhh so be improved upon if they had the inspiration to do it and put a little effort. [The setting should be configurable, since it would make no sense at all in a large merged letter, for instance :-)]. 2cents Robert |
