[SOLVED] Multiple Instances of Word 2010; Possible to Force Single Instance?

-

is possible either:

  • control word instancing single instace application; or
  • adjust behavior if there's word of word, new documents (no matter how they're launched) open in existing instance , not new one?

i have user tends open documents en masse/in bulk, highlighting 2-8 @ time , opening them (alternate-click > open or once selected hitting [enter]).

when this, multiple instances of word launched.

very there instance each document, close.  for example, if opened 8 documents there might 5-7 instances, several instances showing 2 or more documents in view > switch windows.

multiple instances of word problem user because because heavy user of ctrl+f6 / ctrl+shift+f6.

and when documents spread out across multiple instances, not work: not allow them cycle through opened documents; cycle through within particular instance of word.

  1. is design?
  2. is change in way earlier versions of word behaved?
  3. is 'undocumented feature' [or worse]?
  4. can behavior controlled?



  1. no idea; i'd call bug.
  2. this behavior started word 2007 or 2010, earlier versions opened documents within single instance.
  3. see 1.
  4. no, unfortunately not.
