Switching between open word documents

Z

Zack

Hello all -

Is there any keyboard command in Word 2004 that allows you to cycle
through multiple open Word documents on the desktop? I'm thinking of
something like the OSX Command-Tab command, that let's you cycle
through the various open applications. I work with multiple open
documents, which frequently cover each other up, and I'm getting tried
of either moving multiple files around on the desktop or mousing up to
the Window menu everytime I need to switch between different documents.

Thanks!
Zack

Excellent! Thanks Daiya and Cybertaz, both suggestions were exactly
what I was looking for. And learning that I can use Command +` in
nearly all OSX programs is a great bonus.

Another useful tool is Peter Maurer's Witch.
http://www.petermaurer.de/nasi.php?section=witch

Witch lets you access all of your windows by pressing a shortcut and
choosing from a clearly arranged list of window titles. Moreover, you can
use Witch to...

€ Directly access minimized windows without using your mouse

€ Close minimized windows without bringing them to front first

€ Zoom, de-/minimize, and close windows on the fly

By default Word's toolbars show up as windows, but you can set the
preferences to eliminate them.
