Office XP on W2K 'Group similar taskbar buttons'

Postby Z » Sun, 20 Jul 2003 01:00:18 GMT 

I have Office XP running on windows 2000. All my Word 
documents open using the same group in the taskbar (same 
with Excel). Does anyone know how I can change this 
behaviors and make sure that each instance of the 
application will have it's own task button. I found an 
option only in Windows XP, but not 2000.

1.Taskbar "Group similar taskbar buttons" 

I first thought that this was happening only to me and that it was related to 
my profile somehow being "damaged".  Now, since I've deployed Office 2003 to 
others, they are reporting the same problem.  The problem is this;
If you have the option selected to "Group similar taskbar buttons" and an 
app (let's say IE) has several groupings, sometimes (can't reproduce the 
problem) I can no longer access this grouping.  I click on the IE grouping in 
the taskbar and nothing happens.  I can maximize the other apps that have 
only one "instance", but every app that has a grouping doesn't expand.  I can 
Alt+Tab to get to these apps, but can't do it in the taskbar anymore.  I have 
to logoff and back on to get back to "normal".  Also, when I log back on, the 
QuickLaunch bar is deactivated and I have to go and re-activate it.  Any 
ideas?  Running Windows XP w/SP2 and Office 2003 w/SP2.

2.Seperate Outlook taskbar button from opened email taskbar buttons 

When you open Outlook, it gets a taskbar button.  When you open emails, those 
opened emails get grouped together with Outlook.  So if I have 10 open emails 
and finally decide to close things, right now I right-click the Outlook 
taskbar button, hit "Close Group", and then re-open Outlook.  

It would be better if the Outlook taskbar button was seperated from the 
emails opened, then I could just close the grouped emails without 
closing/reopening Outlook.

3.Clicking Taskbar Button Closes Group 

A friend is having trouble with Word.  When running
multiple windows, and clicking the "group" button on the
taskbar, Word will close intermittently, without any
further prompt from her.  She is not selecting "close
group," just clicking it causes the whole group to close. 
The only thing that she has tweaked that may be causing
this imho is that she's reconfigured her mouse from being
right handed to left handed.  In either case, it doesn't
make sense that simply clicking the W button on the task
bar should cause the group to close.  Any advice would be
appreciated. I've searched the knowledge base and several
other expert sites and haven't seen this before.

4.excel buttons grouped on taskbar

5.Taskbar group buttons unchecked and Excel 

When I open several files at one time in Excel, the taskbar only shows one 
file open, even though I have the taskbar group box unchecked. In order to 
show each file I have to open each file individually. How can I eliminate 
multiple steps to show each Excel file in the taskbar?

8. Restricting the taskbar to one icon per open database instead of a group in XP.
