Experience
Formerly the #1 rated Microsoft Word Expert at Askme.com since volunteering there in December 2000. In that time, responding to hundreds of questions most of which were specific to Microsoft Word.

Microsoft Office and Microsoft Word in particular is one of the most popular programs that our firm, Computer Help provides instruction, one on one tutoring and consultation. I personally use MS Word for almost every task: Envelopes, Mailing Labels, Database, WordArt, Interactive Forms, Faxes, Letters, Lists, Newsletters, Tables, Email Editor and much more. The exception, Graphics and Web Pages. For graphics I use Ulead's PhotoImpact and Microsoft's FrontPage for web site design.

Microsoft Word - Word 2003


Expert: Dale F. Wiley - 11/5/2009

Question
I read your answer to "How to cascade documents," but when I click on "Window" on the menu baR, there is no "Cascade" option -- only New, Arrange All, Compare Side by Side and Split. I just bought a new Toshiba laptop (XP) and have installed Office 2003 from the same discs used with my former Toshiba laptop.  I somehow set the cascade feature in the other computer, but can't remember how.  Could it have been through something in Conrol Panel? THANKS SO MUCH!

Answer
Hi Diana,

Must report that I don’t have Word 2003 and have yet to be convinced that I need it but I will do my best to answer your question anyway. My answer will reflect Microsoft Word 2002 which is the version I am using.

To my knowledge there isn’t any choice to “Cascade Windows” in Microsoft Word as you have already pointed out in your question.

What you can do is open all your Microsoft Word documents their own window on the Taskbar.

Under Options, View make sure you have a checkmark in the box labeled Windows in Taskbar under Show then click OK.

This might be helpful:

XP and Vista: Tile, Cascade, or Minimize Windows

Cascading and tiling windows has been around forever. Most people know that right-clicking on the taskbar will open a menu that allows the windows to manipulated. Usually, however, this will change the view of all windows. If you are like me and have 10 windows open at all time, this is not very helpful.

We can use the CTRL key to select just the windows we want.

1. Hold the CTRL key and click each taskbar button corresponding to the windows that you want to manipulate.
– The selected taskbar buttons will be depressed

2. Right-click on one of the selected taskbar buttons which will open a pop-up window

3. Select whenever action you wish.

In XP the options will be the following: title, cascade, or close.

In Vista the options will be the following: cascade, show windows stacked, show windows side by side, minimize group, or close group.

The selected windows and only the selected windows will be affected.

Good luck.

Dale :-)
