[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.
- is design?
- is change in way earlier versions of word behaved?
- is 'undocumented feature' [or worse]?
- can behavior controlled?
- no idea; i'd call bug.
- this behavior started word 2007 or 2010, earlier versions opened documents within single instance.
- see 1.
- no, unfortunately not.
