Moving between multiple open docs

[Julie27]

Is there a keyboard shortcut to move between multiple open docs in Mac
Word? Out of habit I hit the command/apple and Tab key. Is there
another combination that works only in Word?

From Word Help (Keyboard Shortcuts/Function keys):

CMD-F6 Go to the next window
CMD-Shift-F6 Go to the previous window
Opt-F6 Go to the next window
Opt-Shift-F6 Go to the previous window

BUt you can choose a different keyboard shortcut using
Tools/Customize/Customize Keyboard... Choose Window and Help in the
Categories listbox, then NextWindow/PrevWindow in the Commands listbox.

In addition to John's list there's another Mac OS navigation keystroke you
may have overlooked CMD+Tab runs you through open *application* windows
but if you want to rotate through open *document* windows of a given
application use CMD+` instead.

It took me a while to get back to this thread.

Guys, I appreciate the help. I felt like a finger contortionist doing
the following with one hand.

CMD-F6 Go to the next window
CMD-Shift-F6 Go to the previous window
Opt-F6 Go to the next window
Opt-Shift-F6 Go to the previous window

I eventually got it to work but need to hands and that slows me down.
On my keyboard I also have to hold down the FN key to get the F6 key
operational. (CMD+FN+F6).

As per your suggestion, I went to the customize keyboard under Tools
and wanted to do either Option+Tab or CTLR+Tab but the program
wouldn't allow me to do that. Instead I now have CMD+' to move me
through the docs. It's working great. This keyboard shortcut didn't
work until I customized the keyboard.

Thanks for the help. I'm very grateful for these little timesavers.
They reduce my frustration.
