Quick question...

does anyone know if there is a shortcut key(s) in word to flip to the other open word documents, like the ctrl+tab in excel?

Thanks,

Try Ctrl+F6 for next document and Ctrl+Shift+F6 for the previous document.

Here are some more shortcuts (copied directly from Word help file):

ALT+TAB
Switch to the next window

ALT+SHIFT+TAB
Switch to the previous window

CTRL+W or CTRL+F4
Close the active window

CTRL+F5
Restore the size of the active window after you've maximized it

F6
Move to a task pane from another pane in the program window (clockwise direction). You may need to press F6 more than once.
Note If pressing F6 doesn't display the task pane you want, try pressing ALT to place focus on the menu bar, and then pressing CTRL+TAB to move to the task pane.

SHIFT+F6
Move to a pane from another pane in the program window (counterclockwise direction)

CTRL+F6
When more than one window is open, switch to the next window

CTRL+SHIFT+F6
Switch to the previous window

CTRL+F7
When a document window is not maximized, performs the Move command (on the Control menu for the window). Use the arrow keys to move the window, and, when finished, press ESC.

CTRL+F8
When a document window is not maximized, performs the Size command (on the Control menu for the window). Use the arrow keys to resize the window, and, when finished, press ESC.

CTRL+F9
Minimize a window to an icon (works only for some Microsoft Office programs)

CTRL+F10
Maximize or restore a selected window

PRINT SCREEN
Copy a picture of the screen to the Clipboard

ALT+PRINT SCREEN
Copy a picture of the selected window to the Clipboard

Press F1 and search for "keyboard shortcuts" in help to find more (this works in all programs in the Office Suite)

Don't forget about the good ol' Windows shortcut Alt+Tab to scroll through all open windows of all open programs! [thumbsup2]

Hope this helps! ;-)
