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.

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.

Ctrl+F6, Ctrl+Shift+F6. These are listed in the "Keyboard shortcuts" Help
topic.

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.
