Remapping Keyboard Shortcuts

I am using Word 2010 in Windows 7. My recollection is that when using earlier versions of Word, the key combination Alt+Tab was used for moving back and forth among applications. Now I find that that key combination moves among windows, both files and applications. It now occurs to me that this might actually be a Windows issue. In any case, since I have Ctrl+F6 and Ctrl+Shft+F6 to move among files, I want to edit Alt+Tab so that it moves among applications only. Does anybody know the solution to this problem? Thank you.

Hi,

There is no setting within Office applications to change the behavior of the ‘Alt + Tab’ key. The function of ‘Alt + Tab’ key combination is governed by the Windows Operating System.
