How to pin Office files to the taskbar icon on Windows 11 ? Please follow the instructions below.
In Windows 11 , pinning Office files is no longer as easy as drag & drop on Windows 10 . However, you can still easily pin Word, Excel and PowerPoint files to their respective application icons on the Win 11 taskbar.
How to pin Office files to application icons on Windows 11
First, you need to pin the Office app (Word, Excel or PowerPoint) to the Windows 11 taskbar. Here's how to do it:
