Is there any way I can have multiple Word files open, and select them using
tabs at the top or bottom, just as I can select excel worksheets, or
different webpages in the latest browsers ?
I regularly work on the same 3 or 4 related files, and I would like to be
able to select a tab to move between them.
Perhaps there is another way to achieve a similar way of working ?
I am using Win XP Prof, and Word 2003.
Thanks.

Not TABS as such, but you can use ALT+SHIFT to move between anything open on
you desktop, much easier than using that dreaded mouse. Hope that helps a
little.

Oops Sorry. That should be ALT+TAB.

You might want to give OfficeTab a try. Most information about is in
Chinese, but there is an English version. See

Thanks for the heads up on that one. Initial testing suggests it works OK
with Word 2003, but it locks up my installation of Word 2007. Whether that
means a conflict with other software I have installed I hesitate to say.
Certainly worth a look if that sort of thing appeals, but for my needs it's
an answer to a problem I don't have.

Thanks to you all, particularly Yves and Suzanne. I think I'll start with
the Work Menu. I prefer to use keyboard shortcuts, and if Alt + k /1 will
always bring up my logbook, for example, this is much more user friendly than
the Windows menu.

If the Work Menu doesn't work out, I'll try the OfficeTab a try.

Thanks again.
