How do I open more than one Word window at a time? Xena <Xena.39c9a63[ at ]wordbanter.com> 12/27/2008 9:38:15 PM I'm using Word 2002, SP3. I used to be able to have more than one Word document open at the same time. But somehow the settings changed so that I now only can open one document at a time. How do I change it back? What happens is that the Word window opens another window INSIDE it for the document. And only one document can be visible at a time in that window, which can be moved around. I have another computer with the same version of Word where I can have more than one document open side by side and visible in my task bar. But I can't figure out how to duplicate that setting in this computer. I want to be able to have many Word documents open at once, with all their task bar buttons visible at the bottom. But there's no way to do that as long as I have that separate document window nestled inside the main Word window. When I go between documents, only one doc shows up at a time. I hope you can help! -- Xena
