Switching Between Open Apps
Use Alt + Tab, click on the Taskbar, and work smoothly with several apps open.
▶Switch between open apps
Hold the Alt key, then tap Tab
In an office you often have many apps open at once — an email, a document, a calculator. Jumping between them quickly makes you look sharp and saves time. Here are two easy ways.
Way 1 — Alt + Tab
Hold down the Alt key and tap the Tab key. A row of your open apps appears. Keep holding Alt and tap Tab again to move through them. Let go to choose.
Way 2 — click on the Taskbar
▶Switch with the mouse
1. Look at the Taskbar
Every open app shows as an icon at the bottom.
2. Click the app you want
One click brings that app to the front.
3. It comes forward
The app you clicked now sits on top, ready to use.
Alt + Tab is fastest when your hands are on the keyboard. Clicking the Taskbar is easier when your hand is already on the mouse. Use whichever feels natural.
