Alt-F6

[Mike Row Soft]

I just uninstalled and reinstalled Excel 2003. Before, when I had multiple
Excel files open, I could move between them swiftly within Excel using
Alt-F6. But now, Alt-F6 is not working. All I can do is use Alt-Tab, which is
more time-consuming, as I must move between EVERYTHING in all programs open.
How do I get Alt-F6 to work in Excel again?

hi
on my 2003, Alt + F6 swithches to the vb editor provided the vb editor is
open.
Ctrl + F6 switches between xl windows.

Ctrl-F6 is not switching between windows. I have Options/view/Windows in
Taskbar checked.

Not really a fix, but a workaround is to use Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+Shift+Tab. It's
a little bit less of a finger stretch on most keyboards as well.
