What keystroke toggles between open Word documents?
Word 2002's lack of intuitive features makes me want to scream.
If you have two documents open in Word 2002, what keystroke toggles between them? In Excel, it's Ctrl-TAB. What is it in Word? Thanks. *** |

What keystroke toggles between open Word documents?
Alt+Tab cycles through the items on the Windows Task Bar, including each. of
the documents that are open in Word. Therefore successive tabs with the Alt key held down will (at some point) move from the active document to another open document. -- Hope this helps.

Ctrl+F6, Ctrl+Shift+F6. These are listed in the "Keyboard shortcuts" Help
topic. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA wrote in message ... Word 2002's lack of intuitive features makes me want to scream.

Suzanne:
Aagghhh!! What a relief! Thanks. The reason I didn't consult Help, which I suppose I should have, is because these days, it is an opaque, non-functional thing of absolute frustration for me. I'll submit this in a different thread, but, for briefly: If I press F1, a window comes up. At the top of that window are completely useless, NON-help items like "What's New", "Find Additional Products", etc. Further down is the caption "Help Topics". But, I mean, there are only 6 help topics there! I don't understand how Microflot considers that to be Help. *** Thanks also to Doug. (Of course, Alt-TAB only works if you have activated the option that puts an icon for every open document on the context-switching Alt-TAB bar. I don't use that option myself. It can be, altho' not always, impractical. If you have dozens of open documents (or Excel worksheets), forget it. Alt-TABbing to ANY open application then becomes a nightmare.) Thanks again. *** |

When the Help dialog opens, right at the very top is a box for you to type
in 'Keyboard Shortcuts' (or whatever happen to be searching for) and pressing enter will pop up the correct answer (hopefully). In this instance, it is the first hit. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP wrote in message ... Suzanne: Aagghhh!! What a relief! Thanks.
