Andrew,
I'm familiar with earlier (true MDI) versions of Word, but it sounds like
you're talking about something different. Could you give a more detailed
description (or screenshots or ASCII art) of what this UI looks like in the
following three cases?
- two documents open
- one document open
- zero documents open
Of course, I'm particularly interested in the third case. ;-)
Paul,
who still thinks following Web browser precedent is a Good Thing
