Default How to Minimize All Windows in Word 2003?

I just tried it -- simply going there gives a popup "Show desktop."
You have to click the vertical rectangle at the end of the taskbar to
actually do it. (Never knew that.)

The Show Desktop button is a Windows XP thing (though there's a sort of
equivalent in Windows 7). In Windows 7, the quick way to do this (which it's
disconcertingly easy to do inadvertently) is to "park" the mouse in the
bottom right corner. Useful if you're playing a game on company time and the
boss comes up behind you!

You could right-click the taskbar and choose the Show the desktop command.
Of course, that would minimize all open windows, not just your Word
documents.

I'd like to be able to minimize them all at once.


Is there a command for this?-
