Two possibilities here ..

1) The Word option "Windows in Taskbar" as garfield-n-odie says
2) In the Windows Taskbar Properties (right click the taskbar and select
properties) there is a check box "Group similar Task bar buttons" - uncheck
it.

You may need to do both of the above to get the effect you want.

Hi all

When I open word (or excel) it appears in the task bar at the bottom.
However if I have more than one word document open it still appears as
just
one word icon in the task bar so you have click it and then select the
word
document you want.

Is it possible to display as two or more separate open documents in the
task
bar. this is the default on my previous PC.

Sorry if this is a windows 2000 question

Any help appreciated

Cheers Rexmann

ps It is Word 2002 and OS Windows 2000
