Hi Alicia,
By "files," I assume you mean "documents." You're not wrong calling them
files, it's just that "document" is the operative term when discussing Word
in this way.
That shouldn't be any problem at all. I don't know if there's something
unusual about the types of documents you mention-- worksheets and a
textbook-- but the only thing I can even imagine is that this textbook is
really enormous, consisting of so many megabytes that you don't have enough
RAM on your computer to have it open and anything else at the same time?
But in a reasonably capable system these days, that doesn't seem likely.
What sort of error message do you get when you try to open these things
together? Also, just to be sure, how much RAM do you have on your PC?
Before you let anyone influence you to get into a big project of inspecting
and then deleting all sorts of running processes and this and that, as
someone is likely to suggest, I hope you find another approach, first. So
let's start with error messages, file size (see? "file" is the pertinent
word in this case) and RAM?

Subject: opening two files in MS Word
Hello, Everyone:
was under the impression that Word would allow you to have more than one
file open at a time; however, it will not allow me to have my worksheets
open and my textbook open. They are both Word files. Does anyone know if
Word will allow two files to be opened?
