It would help a lot if I could cascade (and uncascade) all currently open Word files such that I could see/click the title bars. If Word (97) has a way, I'm not aware of it. I take that back: Word will cascade them, but you can't see the title bars. So I have to minimize one after another to Word's tray, which is behind the open file windows, until I can see what's there...

Try to get the titles of all open windows (I expect a pattern like " - Microsoft Word") and take that list/index to build an AHK Menu. JM2C. :)

Thanks, BoBo, for the suggestion. Now, if I had any idea how to use it...
Are you suggesting using the FileExist function to find open Word files? I'm afraid I have no idea how to set up such a script to get filenames. If I had the file names I think I could make a menu.

all currently open Word files

FileExist wouldn't be my first choice as you looking for all open files instead of all files.

SetTitleMatchMode, 2
WinGet, OutputVar, List, - Microsoft Word
MsgBox % OutputVar
