'Unminimise' all Word docs?

Is it possible to 'unminimise' Word documents that have been minimised to the Word icon (rather than to the dock) all at once, or is it necessary to do them by clicking on them one-by-one?

I know it's possible to unminimise multiple files from other applications by option-clicking one file, but this doesn't work in Word.

Thank you!

No shortcut to un-minimize all windows. But another way to do it is to Hide them instead.

With Word in focus, either do CMD-H or Option-click outside of a Word window.
That will hide all Word windows.

Clicking the Dock icon will restore all of them.

Thanks WBW...though it's a shame that, if you minimise a number of Word docs one by one (say, as you modify them and 'check them off' as you finish with them), there's no way of getting them all back together!
D'oh.
