Cycle through open documents in Office 2010

Clicking on the view menu then switch window then the document you want is about 2 clicks too many.

These keyboard combo's save me from mouse rage when working on multiple documents at once.

Ctrl-F6 cycles forward one document and Shift-Ctrl-F6 cycles back one.

Happy non clicking!
