Remarks

When set to True, this property simulates the look of a single-document interface (SDI), which makes it easier to navigate between open presentations. However, if you work with multiple presentations while other applications are open, you may want to set this property to False to avoid filling your taskbar with unnecessary buttons.

The value of the ShowWindowsInTaskbar property can be one of these MsoTriState constants.

msoTrue The default. There is a separate Windows taskbar button for each open presentation.
