How to Minimize All Windows in Word 2003?
What an annoyingly chattily written page!
But no, there's no fadeout at the Show desktop button. Windows+Space, however, does do it. On Jan 29, 8:19*am, "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: It depends on your settings.

You can "preview" the desktop by resting the mouse pointer in the bottom
right corner of the taskbar assuming that the "Use Aero Peek to preview the desktop" option is selected in the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box. No doubt this is equivalent to the keyboard shortcut you mentioned. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP On 2012-01-29 14:27 (GMT+1), Peter T. Daniels wrote: What an annoyingly chattily written page!

How to Minimize All Windows in Word 2003?
I actually discovered it by mistake when I was trying to find an option
that controls the previews of applications when you rest the mouse on their respective icons on the taskbar... -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP On 2012-01-29 17:53 (GMT+1), Suzanne S. Barnhill wrote: Ah, I knew there was a setting somewhere. |

How to Minimize All Windows in Word 2003?
I wish there were a way to turn that off -- assuming that you mean,
whenever the cursor happens to get near one of the window boxes in the taskbar, a mini-window pops up, obscuring the bottom of what you're working on. Which would seem to indicate that that control you're talking about _is_ activated ...

My thought exactly. So far I haven't found a way to disable that
annoying preview, though. :-( -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP On 2012-01-29 19:31 (GMT+1), Peter T.

I think you have to disable Aero Peek entirely:
