'Worksheet' Tabs to Word
Word template should be redesign with ‘worksheet tabs’ similar to existing in the Excel Worksheet Tabs.
Then word will be facilitated to users to keep all relevant word documents in to a one doc rather open all doc files. Particularly such modification to word template may highly beneficial for the users who compiling manuals or any other large documents under different subjects but need to bundle up to a one place later.

I have been waiting for over a decade for this feature. Word for Mac had (or has) it, but not Word for Windows. We have tabbed documents in browsers, Excel, and OneNote,, but not Word. Why? The closest thing is creating a long document, but that is not an easy or functionally effective way to do this. PLEASE Microsoft, you know this should be a standard feature in Word.

In a world full of Tabs MS should move the 'S' from windows to tab.
Meaning, Multiple Tabs one Window. -

This is something I love in other text programs like Notepad++, Sublime text and so on. As a writer who deals with huge docs and who uses split display on a big monitor, this would be lovely!

The ability to have tabs to view multiple files using the same window would be nice as well.

Can't believe the latest version of Office 365 Word for Mac doesn't have tabbed document windows yet, Apple made this available to all apps as part of macOS a couple OS releases ago. And the Mac word processing app Pages has tabbed windows (actually many Mac apps do). Really disappointed Word/MS is behind here. Please add tabbed windows to all versions of Word.

Please just add tabs already, I'm sure it's not that difficult. There's an add-in for it but it's not very well done imo. And add the option to open folders within Word as a workspace. These things would make it far better for managing multiple docs.

Hallo Microsoft Team,
How hard can it be to add tab option to MS Word. WPS has done it.
Thanks

Multiple tabs at the bottom are needed to switch between different docs inside 1 file for separate chapters of a book or parts of a writing.
----------------------
Summary: writers need different docs inside one file/workbook to use for different chapters of a book or different aspects of a longer writing.
Example 1: at a certain doc length (about 10 pages?), I'd rather have a tab (separate doc) for footnotes instead of scrolling to the bottom.
Example 2: when writing a long article, I'd like to be able to put all related ideas/prose/research inside one tabbed document and use tabs to switch between docs.
Problem defined: switching between word docs is too cumbersome: picture opening 20 separate documents for a 20 chapter book every day. Not fun or functional.
Precedent solution: Excel already uses this feature brilliantly for different spreadsheets inside one file/workbook so a version of the code is already proven/written.
----------
BTW, I phoned Microsoft in Redmond with this idea in the 1990s. That was over 20 years ago. Some manager at Microsoft is lacking vision and/or resolve. This has been under review on this User Voice page for going on 4 years. If you want people (including me) to upgrade, improve your product with this feature. This is an important feature. -
