How can the program buttons that show up at the bottom of the windows screen
be set up to show the number of open documents? Word currently keeps track
of the open word documents by showing an orange number on the button. When
the button is clicked, a popup list of open documents appears above the
button, making document selection easy. I cannot seem to locate a similar
function within Excel. The only way is to click on window at the top of the
screen and select the document from the drop down box.

I don't know if this function can be turned off/on in Word. There doesn't
seem to be an option that can be selected in Word that I can try and
duplicate for Excel. Thanks to anyone that can help me here. Couldn't get
answer from MS free support or KB. That may be because I don't know what
this function is offically called.
