on office word - switching between open documents with short cut keys

I am using MacBook Pro 13' touch. when working on office word, and when i open more than one documents, I want to switch between open documents by using short-cut keys.

I can not find it.

I tried live chat support.

also searched web.

1 search mentioned - cmd+tilde ~. I don't have tilde ~. its usually left of "1". but I am using my mac with Turkish keyboard and I have ("and é) on left of 1.

any ideas

Some reference to use Cmd+Tab, shows an Application Switcher opens

suggests that could be used, in some macOS and applications to switch.


"Or you can click and hold on the Word icon in the Dock. Do so and at the

top of the contextual menu that appears you'll see a list of all the open

documents. Choose the one you like and it becomes the active document."

[An alternative may be to explore to see what you find by using

'Keyboard Viewer' to expose those keys, in open/viewer in Finder.]


Others suggest Control+Tab, to switch between open tabs.

I've found 'microsoft help' forums good for Mac questions.

Maybe it's not useful only in within ms office or word.

Or for other versions macOS?


An external wired keyboard is helpful, for troubleshooting hardware, too.

Sorry to only guess in this matter & not be helpful.


Take care & good luck!🌤🐢🌻🌿
