Can I get Word to open up a group of documents all at the same time?

[Jinker6]

I often need to have the same set of documents open at the same time (Group A or B, etc., depending upon my task). It might be 6 documents all in different places on my hard drives.

Is there functionality in Word to set up 'groups' like this, and then open them all at once?

I did search around and found a paid plugin-type tool that does this for Windows versions of Word, but nothing for Mac.

Apologies if this is a daft question but it would be really useful for me and I can't find anything in the software itself.

Thanks very much for any help!

How about simply putting shortcuts (aliases) to the files in a folder, open the folder, select all, and open?

That sounds like a great idea, thanks!
