nooooooooooo!! bad idea! With the Windows 7 Taskbar tabs are now a totally redundant and out-of-date idea!

Whoops… just realised that I was referring to Foxit Reader v2.3, not v3.1 – which has corrected the weird CTRL + TAB operation.

My original thoughs still apply though – tabs in Office would really help and I’d love to see that extended to other areas of the Windows interface.

@John – I see no reason why tabs in Office can’t appear under or above the ribbon – it’s a fixed height so they won’t move vertically even when selecting a different tab on the ribbon.

Stuart’s absolutely right – tabbed browsing would be an awesome addition to Office. I occasionally open multiple pdf files using Foxit Reader, which from version 3 has had tabbed browsing – it works really well, the only annoying thing being that CTRL + TAB cycles left rather than right as in Firefox (adding SHIFT does the trick)… but it’s really useful.

I’d love to see them used in Office – even in Windows itself, having tabs in explorer would be really useful when moving files!

It would be quite hard to add tabs to the interface. Maybe in Office 2012(2014?)?

Office 2007 has MDI document capability. Earlier versions of Office had MDI capability long before browsers had tabs.
