How to Enable Tabbed Document Browsing in Microsoft Word

Author: Siluvia Last Modified: 2024-08-23

Managing multiple documents in Microsoft Word can sometimes be cumbersome, especially when you're juggling several open windows at once. Fortunately, the Office Tab add-in allows you to enable tabbed document browsing in Word, similar to how you manage multiple tabs in a web browser. This feature streamlines your workflow by keeping all your documents organized in a single window with a tabbed interface.

As shown in the below demo, after installing the add-in, I was able to open four documents simultaneously, all neatly listed in the tab bar. This feature allows users to view Word documents in a single tabbed window, simplifying navigation and management. If any document is modified, an asterisk appears next to its name, indicating the change.


Tabbed Browsing & Editing for Multiple Word Documents/Excel Workbooks, Just Like in Chrome and Edge!

Just like browsing multiple webpages in Chrome, Safari and Edge, Office Tab lets you open and manage multiple Word documents or Excel workbooks in one Word window or Excel window. Switching between documents or workbooks is now simple with a click on their tabs!
