It's really hard to check and see if anyone's asked this before, because my issue is too similar to the "resume" feature. It's basically the opposite, though.
When I select multiple documents and try to open them in Word/Office, only 1 to 3 of the files open.
I regularly open 20-30 files at a time, in order to close them as I finish working on them, so opening each one by hand is becoming a bit of a pain!
If nothing else, opening multiple documents simultaneously has always worked before in every other version of MacOS. I've tried selecting them all and dragging them to the Word icon on the Dock, tried selecting all and hitting enter, opening the folder and using the menu to "select all" and then "open"...nothing doing. It's strangest to me that it's random how many files will open, though it's never more than 3 at a time. Known bug? "User Feature"? Help!

Oh, and, this is on a brand new Mini, running Office 2008. I have this problem with opening multiple images at once also, though it seems more random and is willing to open more files into preview (2-5 instead of 1-3). WTH. The files are almost always freshly downloaded one-by-one, but I don't get any nasty nag screens telling me I'm about to open a file downloaded from the internet, so it isn't THAT problem.
