Why we add tabs to Word, Excel and PowerPoint?

Unlike Web browsers -- FireFox, Internet Explorer 8 or Chrome, Microsoft Office does not use a single window to hold multiple files for viewing and editing. Users can not see at a glance all opened documents they're working on, and it's not easy to switch between them. Office Tab solves the problem by putting tabs on Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. With Office Tab, you can easily open multiple documents within a single window, and use Tabbed Browsing for switching between documents.

Adding tabs to Word, Excel, PowerPoint process:

Install OfficeTab and run it on your computer. As you can see from the image below, you have opened all the documents at hand, just click on the corresponding TAB to open, view and edit the file.

In practice you can make Office programs like Web browsers (firefox, explorer, chrome) that already have this useful feature.
