Word should have colored tabs for opened documents

... the equivalent of worksheet tabs in Excel is *not* document tabs in
Word. The Excel equivalent of a Document is a Work*Book* and Excel does not
have workbook tabs. It is just as awkward - or just as easy, depending on
your point of view - to work with multiple workbooks in Excel as it is to
work with multiple documents in Word. In fact, if anything, I would say it
is probably easier to navigate a document in Word than it is to navigate a
workbook in Excel.
Exactly right. This is the nth-millionth time I have seen this request in
the last 5 years, and every single time people fail to realize that the tabs
in Excel represent different Worksheets within a single workbook, and not
different Workbooks within the Excel application. I guess the only way that
Word could work like Excel is if Word had tabs to represent pages within the
document.... But that makes no sense! Hence, no tab!
