It's not just Word. Lots of microsoft programs have modal dialogs that lock out other open windows. Outlook is the one that give me the most trouble.

- Seth_Kriticos 14y agoExcel is good at this too (2007). Edit a cell (F2) and then at the same time try open a different spreadsheet..
- B-Con 14y agoI hate the UI design idea that some types of common pop-up window should become the sole top-level element across the entire program that creaetd it. It should instead be contained within whatever window/tab it originated. (There might be an exception, but I can't think of one at the moment.)
