Hi everyone.
In Office for Windows you can switch between open documents within a program with, IIRC, control+tab (in the same way as you can switch between applications with alt+tab). Is there a similar shortcut for the Mac version?

Thanks in advance.

Kevin
 
If you use Office and got 2 docs open press:
(apple) + <

This is very handy :)
 
hmm, thanks for your replies guys.

Using Word 2008:
Apple+' does nothing
apple+, brings up the preferences
apple+shift+, decreases the font size

In excel 2008 exactly the same thing happens.

Any other suggestions?
 
nope forget that, I was getting confused between ' and `

apple + ` works fine.

Thanks

Kevin
 
<cmd>` (backtick) works for all Mac applications.

Another way is to configure hot corners in Expose. I generally configure the bottom-left corner for showing all open windows in an application. See the Expose settings in the preferences.

Also, by default, one of the F keys (F10, 11, 12?) is configured to do this.
 
Yeah, sounds like you got ` confused with '

It's command + ` which is the same key that has the tilde ~ on it.

Works for all Mac applications.

And Cmd + Tab is the same as Alt + Tab.
 
cool, thanks guys.
The expose tip was great too. Didnt realise there was an option just for application windows. I've run out of corners, but the F10 is just fine!
