My open-document icons won’t show on the taskbar. In order to bring up current Word docs I must right-click on the Task Manager in the Task Bar. Doing this opens the Windows Task Manager box, and I must then click on a highlighted title in order to open the document. How do I get the Word icons to remain in the task bar? Thanks.

The Word icon I have on my task bar is a ‘pin to’ icon that opens a new blank document but does not show any Word documents I already have open and am working on.

If you hover over that with the mouse, any Word documents\windows that yuo have open should appear
