Default Documents overview


Hi I'm currently working on a bigger writing-project, involving jumping back and forth between different documents in the process.
Is it possible in Word to create some kind of document overview column in the left or right side of the screen I'm writing in. Thereby making it easy to shift to another doc...
I've seen mac-user having a thing like this, but I haven't found it in my Word 2010 edition (for win) yet.

Jacob

On the View tab, check the box to turn on the Navigation Pane.

If you have correctly used Heading Styles, this will be especially useful.

Hi

This looks almost right... But it seems I can only navigate the document I'm writing in.
I would like to be able to overview the documents I'm currently workning on (defined by me, or just the recent changed, or something like this), so that I can quickly shift to, say, my ideas document, when I get an idea while writing in the analysis document, or switch to the introduction document, when I suddenly feel like adding something while writing the theoretical discussion or what ever..

If you are talking about docs that are not open, you can go to Recent on the File tab... you can pin documents to the Recent list on the File tab, so the shortcuts to them stay even if they haven't been recently opened. Or you can easily create a macro and add a button to the Quick Access toolbar or Ribbon, or a custom keyboard shortcut.

For docs that are already open, on the View tab, you can Switch between open docs, or Arrange documents.
