As soon as I open a second document, the first disappears.  If I re-open the
first, the second document disappears, etc.  This is a new problem.  I
frequently have several open tiled documents and work between them, so I know
how to do this, but suddenly this feature has disappeared !  I used to
experience this only with Excel, but I rarely need to have two Excel
documents open at one time, so it never mattered, but this is new in Word,
and it does bother me!  I can't figure out what / how it changed, or how to
fix it.

Thanks for any help.

"Note In earlier versions of Microsoft Word, when multiple documents are
opened, only one Word button appears on the Windows taskbar. However,
starting in Microsoft Word 2000, when multiple documents are opened, a
separate button appears for each on the Windows taskbar. "

Thanks, JS.  It took a while to figure this out because the first part seemed
to do the opposite of what I wanted, but I finally found what I needed at
Tools, Options, View, and check Windows in Taskbar.  I now vaguely recall
unchecking that box and wondering what would happen if I did, and then
forgetting I had done it!  Thanks so much for your help, and for such a
speedy reply.
