Let say I have 10 different Word documents opens at the same time, how can I flip between them?

In windows I would use Alt+tab, but in mac it looks like it gives only one icon per app/finder...

Ahm, one more question -

I see that it toggles the documents one after another, so in order to go back to the page I've just been to I need to go through all the other documents... Is there any way to move "forwards" and "backwards" in the open documents? Or even to get a list of the open documents to choose from like in Windows?

I'm working with GTD if anyone knows, and I'm easily getting to 15-20 active documents at the time...

All open Word pages can be accessed via Window in the Menu bar, but it does involve moving the mouse, which I got sick of doing because I wanted both hands at the keyboard, so I opted for repeated Cmd~ keystrokes.

Hold SHIFT to go the other direction… so SHIFT + Cmd + ~

Which I think should be referred to as simply Cmd+~ and the other direction through would be referred to as Cmd+` ;)
