Hi, all.



I very frequently make use of Word's "Split Screen" feature ... Consistency is very important in what I do, and particularly if there are repeated phrases or sections, it is great to be able to harvest the exact text from an earlier section. Big thumbs up.

My issue is this: when switching between tabs in a browser or between documents in a given program (Adobe Reader, Word.....), I often use "Ctrl+Tab", or "Alt+Tab" to switch between programs. Through sheer force of habit, I find myself "Alt+Tabbing" (or Ctrl+Tabbing) when trying to switch between the two areas of a split screen (which obviously has a completely different effect, and ends up slowing me down). I really despise using the mouse if there is a keyboard shortcut, but I have not yet been able to find one to do this! Is there one, and if not, could one be built into the next release?

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

in word 2007 F6 circulates focus from screen 1 to status bar to ribbon to screen 2

Brilliant! Cheers!

In Word 2010, F6 will also cycle through the ribbon and any open panes like the Styles pane or the Navigation pane. Shift+F6 will cycle in the opposite direction.

Helpful to know. Thanks to both. F6 is working for me.
