Opening multiple documents
For the past three years I have had a membership database output
individual member details as an RTF document The filename includes each member ID. I use the contents for various purposes. I have been in the habit of selecting the many documents and using right click Open to have them all available. Suddenly this does not happen and I am burdened with the need to open each file individually. For background infomation I use the same technique for JPG files that arrive in bulk and need similar treatment before being used in web pages. That still happens. They open in bulk. What did I break? Robin Chapple |

Opening multiple documents
Hi Robin-
I don't know that you 'broke' anything, but the right-clicking technique doesn't seem to be supported in Word 2003... Not sure if this is an app issue or an OS issue, but I imagine there will be someone come along to clear it up. In the meantime, just do as you used to, but click the Open button instead of rt-clicking. BTW- Tis only seems to be a problem if in Word's Open dialog box. From the desktop or an explorer window your way still works.
