    I got a 2nd hand laptop a few months ago, and hadn't used it's ms word. I noticed today, however, that I can't get more than one document title to appear on the task bar at the bottom of the page, and they're not grouped either--putting a mouse over the one document that shows up doesn't help. But when I exit that document, the other one appears, and its title replaces the one that had been there previously. Where do I go to fix this? Thanks.

    Although this may not be YOUR problem, this situation happens when you have too many docs and apps to fit in the Taskbar. However, if that is NOT the situation, why don't you try experimenting with the different Taskbar settings. For example, do you have 'Show Windows Side-By-Side' checked? Is your Taskbar locked? Do you have 'Group Similar Taskbar Button' UNchecked?

    Sometimes even the mere exercise of going through these (and other) different changes and then rebooting your system will be enough to correct the problem.
