Tabbed document interface Microsoft Word 2007

Question

Someone, back in the day (2001) wrote a script to create a Doc-Bar in Word XP that would allow for tabbed interface of open Word documents (thus saving precious Taskbar space):

However, the links/script mentioned in the package have mysteriously disappeared.

Does anyone know how to programatically create a document bar in Word 2007 that would allow for tabbed interface with open documents?

Answer 1

Not answering the same question, but what about something like WinTabber? (http://www.wintabber.com/) - I used to use this (or something like it) for tabbed PuTTY sessions before I built mrxvt for Cygwin.

Answer 2

There's several things you could do using Word options:

• Go to Word Options -> Advanced -> Display section and uncheck Show all windows in Taskbar

• Use the Window list (on the View tab of the ribbon) to switch between documents. Default shortcut would be (on an English UI): Alt+W+W+<n> where n is the index of your document.

• Configure a custom keyboard shortcut to bring up the list of open documents.
