Switching between open documents

Android/iOS: This function is not available for smartphones. For tablets, you can switch between document tabs within the same program window.

If you have multiple documents open at the same time, you can switch to a specific document and thus make it the active document:

Ribbon interface: "Windows" icon

In the ribbon, you will find an icon called Windows windows_icon on the ribbon tab View. If you click on it, a list of all open documents appears. Click on the desired document.

Classic menu interface: "Window" menu item

For classic menus, you will find a list of all currently open documents in the Window menu. Select the entry for the document to which you want to switch.

Toolbars interface (Android/iOS only): "Window" menu item

You will find a list of all currently open documents for tablets via the hamburger menu hamburgermenu in the Window menu. Select the entry for the document to which you want to switch.

Mouse: Clicking on a document tab

Above the document, you will find a bar with document tabs for all currently open documents. Click on the tab for the document to which you want to switch.
document_tabs

FreeOffice: The functions for working with document tabs are not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice. However, you can open documents in different program windows.

 

Mouse: Clicking into the program window containing the document

Of course, if you have documents open in multiple program windows (see previous section), you can also simply click into the program window with the desired document to make this document the active document.

Keyboard: Ctrl+F6

You can also use the keyboard to switch between the currently open documents: Ctrl+F6 switches to the next document and Ctrl+Shift+F6 switches to the previous one.
Mac: On a Mac, you have to use the key combinations Cmd+F6 or Cmd+Shift+F6 to switch between documents.
