Thanks Jay, you've solved half the problem with unchecking the "show all
windows in taskbar". I'm using Word 2007, and unlike in in earlier versions
of word, this doesn't allow you to used Alt-Tab between open documents
(obviously, because it's no longer on the task bar). To "toggle" between
documents, you have somehow locate the "switch windows" command on the View
tab of the ribbon, and/or add add it to the QAT. Yet another frustration from
our friends at Microsoft, when this all worked perfectly fine in Word 2003!

If you must change from Windows in the taskbar, (and even if you don't) then
CTRL:+F6 and ALT+F6 are pre-configured to switch between open documents.
Alt+Tab switches between open applications. It was the same in Word 2003!
