I am using Word 2007. When I have more than one document open at a time I
want them open in the same window, so that I CTRL-TAB, rather than ALT-TAB,
between them. I haven't been able to find anythign useful in the help file.

Hi Horse,

You can turn off the "Show all windows in the Taskbar" setting in Word 2007 options (File Button=Options=Advanced=Display) to
remove the Alt+Tab behavior, but Ctrl+Tab isn't the Word keyboard shortcut for switching between those open documents.

It is sometimes frustrating that Word does not honour the Ctrl+Tab
convention for switching between windows within an application - and uses
Ctrl+F6 (or Alt+F6) instead. It is possible (see below) to assign Ctrl+Tab
to the NextWindow command using VBA (but not possible via the UI) but you
then lose the ability to do other things with Ctrl+Tab like putting a Tab
character in a Table Cell.

With KeyBindings
.Add KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyTab, wdKeyControl), _
KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryCommand, _
Command:="NextWindow"
.Add KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyTab, wdKeyControl, wdKeyShift), _
KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryCommand, _
Command:="PrevWindow"
End With

Enjoy,

Thanks Bob, that's done the trick. And it's Ctrl+F6 from now.

Thanks for the tip Tony, but I'll stick with Ctrl+F6 for switching between
docs and keep Ctrl+tab for tabbing in table cells.
