Office: Behavior When Creating New or Opening Existing Binder (132121)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office Binder 97
This article was previously published under Q132121 SUMMARY
The behavior that occurs when you create a new binder or open an existing
binder depends on the item that you click in the New Binder dialog box
and whether or not there is a file open in the active Office Binder
window. Note that by design of Microsoft Office Binder, you can only open
one binder document in a single instance of Office Binder.
MORE INFORMATIONCreating a New Binder Based on a Template
When you start Microsoft Office Binder, a new blank binder is opened,
named Binder<n>, where <n> is a number that indicates how many new blank
binders are currently open. If you then create a new binder based on a
Binder Template, a new Binder window reflecting the contents of the
template appears in the current instance of Office Binder, replacing the
current Binder window. A new instance of Office Binder is not started.
If you create a new binder based on a Binder Template, while the current
instance of Office Binder contains a saved or modified binder file, the
new binder is opened in a new instance of Office Binder.
Creating a New Blank Binder
If you create a new blank binder by clicking the Blank Binder item in the
New Binder dialog box, a new instance of Office Binder is started, even
if the current instance contains a blank, unsaved binder.
Opening an Existing Binder
When you open an existing binder, if the current instance of Office
Binder contains a blank, unsaved binder, the existing binder is opened in
the current instance of Office Binder; no new instance is started.
If the current instance of Office Binder contains a saved or modified
binder, the existing binder is opened in a new instance of Office Binder.
Opening or Creating a New Binder Using Office Shortcut Bar
When you open an existing binder (Open A Document or Open Office Document
button on Office toolbar) or create a new Binder (Create A New Document
or New Office Document button on Office toolbar) from the Office Shortcut
Bar, a new instance of Office Binder is always started.
To close a binder, you must close the Microsoft Office Binder instance as
well, and vice versa. That is, when you click Close on the File menu in
Office Binder, both the binder file and Office Binder are closed.
