I'm missing something. I had no idea Alicia didn't know that the way you
switch between open Word docs is either to use Alt Tab as if you were
clicking on them in the Task Bar, or, and this is part of Word, switch
from
one to the other in the open windows list in the Windows menu, first to
the
left of the help menu. But I also just use an Alt Tab to go back and
forth.

Ok, I just opened one file then while that file is open I went to file,
open, and found another file and opened it. Then you have to do the alt +
tab to switch between files. It just worked for me.

They are both text files that need to be opened in Word.

Ok here you go. First of all you have a text file and a spreadsheet
file.
One is opened in word and one in excel. There for when you open them
both
up, you need to switch between them by doing a alt + tab.

The worksheet files are 54.4 kb and the textbook file is 65.78 kb. I
have
a
machine that is running 512 of RAM. I know I need to toss in another
stick
because I bought this computer a year ago and I have not added any
memory
sticks to it since I bought it.

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?
