New Office default behavior which is different from all preceding is if an
Office App is now already open, if you doubleclick on a file or click on a
tray icon, the existing instance will display the default view. Traditional
behavior going all the way back to Office 5 (Win3.1) is to launch a new
application instance. This is important if you need to view multiple works
but don't have ample screen display space... tiling is completely out of the
question and switching "windows" within an instance is too cumbersome, both
require <many> clicks to switch when multiple instances supports not only
single click switching but more versatile use of display space. Also, for
whatever reason sometimes the different "windows" of work aren't enumerated
so I can't switch without closing.
This is a <major> Productivity issue, is there a way to change the default
behavior to launch another application instance rather than a window within
an existing instance?
TIA,
Tony Su
