Open multiple documents in MS Word with a single click
To open two or more documents in Word with a single click, you can create an empty txt file (e.g. openmydocs.txt). Open it and write the path to Word and the path to your documents in sequence and with spaces in between, such as:
C:\WINWORD.EXE C:\Mydoc1.doc C:\Mydoc2.doc
Save this file, close it and change its extension from “txt” to “bat” (e.g. openmydocs.bat). Next time you open this BAT (batch) file, Word will load immediately both of your documents. If you want to use long names, be sure to enclose all paths in quotes. Here is a real, working, example:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\WINWORD.EXE" "C:\My Documents\Study\Learning MS Office.doc" "C:\My Documents\Study\Learning Adobe Photoshop.doc"
In the same way you should be able to open simultaneously not only Word documents, but even images or web pages.

Being yourself an author or student you will perhaps appreciate especially this feature, that the very structure of the book will teach you how to work. The book contains even chapters on how to prepare a document for professional publishers such as Amazon. Reading Steven Adams' Writing a book or thesis in Microsoft Word you are surprised realizing it makes you want to work -- to think, write, use Word and be creative! |
