Add tabbed documents to MS Office

(1/12) > >>

CWuestefeld:
I think this is a must-have for Microsoft Office users. I hate the way that having multiple documents open pollutes the Windows taskbar, and makes it difficult to toggle between docs (you can only use the View/Switch Windows menu, which doesn't work very well).
Add tabbed documents to MS Office
This Office Addin, OfficeTab, makes Word, Excel, and PowerPoint function like your favorite tabbed browser.

(by way of ghacks -- thanks, guys!)

Make sure you read the EULA carefully. I forget the exact wording but it said something about installing 3rd party software.

Hmmm. I confess to not looking carefully during install. I went back and looked, but can't find the license text. Checked the developer's page comments from users, as well as on ghacks (my source), and didn't find anyone complaining about it.

Having mentioned this caveat, I installed this last night and I do like it. Seems like something MS should have implemented on their own.
