Office Tab: Open Multiple Documents in a Single Window

Office Tab Free Edition is a great free Microsoft Office plug-in that allows you to bring tabbed user interface to your Microsoft Office 2003, 2007 and 2010. Microsoft Office does not support opening multiple documents in a single window for editing and viewing. But if we can add tabbed user interface to Microsoft Office, we can greatly increase our workflow and productivity. And that’s where this free Microsoft Office extension can help you. This free MS Office extension comes with Word Tab, PowerPoint Tab and Excel Tab.
