How can I display open Word97 Documents in XP taskbar?

In previous versions on Windows, one could "Alt Tab" through open word 97 or
excel 97 documents. I seem to be unable to do this in Windows XP. Is there a
setting I can change to enable this?

Not an Office question - try posting this to a Windows XP group since Office
documents are not the only applications you can cycle through using Alt+Tab.

In '97 this is not possible to Alt Tab between word or excel documents using
Windows unless you open individual copies of the program and open the
individual files in each open program. You can semiscroll between the files
by pressing Alt + W key and then the 1 or 2 or 3 or -- key to jump to that
document in the order they were opened. This is the same as clicking on
Window on the top bar of the Office program and then clicking on the open
file's name.

It is possible with Office documents Office 2000 or after since MS starting
showing the individual files on the taskbar. (While only one copy of the
program opens each open file will show on the taskbar.)
