As shown in Figure 2-23, a tooltip appears: Pin to Word (or

whatever the parent program is). Release the mouse or your finger.
You’ve just pinned the document to its program’s taskbar jump list.

(If you drag a folder—or a shortcut of one—onto the taskbar, it
gets pinned in the File Explorer icon’s jump list.)

Note
If the document’s parent program didn’t already appear on the taskbar, it does now. In other
words, if you drag a Beekeeper Pro document onto the taskbar, Windows is forced to install the
Beekeeper Pro program icon onto the taskbar in the process. Otherwise, how would you open the
jump list?

In an existing jump list, click the icon (Figure 2-23, right).
Suppose, for example, the document already appears in a Recently
Opened list (on the taskbar or the Start menu). When you point to

it with your cursor, a pushpin icon appears. By clicking it, you can
move the document up into the Pinned list at the top of the jump

list. Now it won’t be dislodged over time by other files you open.

(If you have only a touchscreen, you can still pin a document this
way. Swipe upward on the app’s taskbar icon to open its shortcut

menu. Hold your finger down on the document to make its shortcut
menu appear; tap “Pin to this list.”)
