Word Tip of the Day
Change Word to a single document interface (2002)
Beginning with the release of Office 2002, Word began using a multiple document interface (MDI) in place of the single document interface (SDI) used in earlier versions. In Word's SDI, your open Word documents are represented by a single button in the Windows taskbar; to switch between open documents, you need to use Word's Window menu. In Word's MDI, each of your open Word documents is represented by an individual taskbar button, enabling you to switch between open documents using the Windows taskbar. If you're working with several documents, Word's MDI can quickly cause your taskbar to become overcrowded with buttons. If you'd like to enable Word's SDI instead, which uses just a single taskbar button, choose Tools | Options from the menu bar to open the Options dialog box, and then click on the View tab. Clear the Windows In Taskbar check box, and then click OK. Now you'll see just a single taskbar button used to represent Word. To switch to another open Word document, just use Word's Window menu.
