I have a problem with Microsoft Office 2010 on Windows 10.



The Microsoft Office suite of programs behaves inconsistently with regards to Alt+Tab. By default Excel, Word, Powerpoint, Publisher, and Visio all display multiple windows in the taskbar. Word, Powerpoint, and Publisher allow Alt+Tabing between documents as if each window was a separately opened program. Visio only has a single item in the Alt+Tab list, no matter how many windows (documents) are open, so documents can't be switched between with Alt+Tab.



Worst of all, Excel treats each window as a separate item as most of the Office programs do, but if an Excel document (spreadsheet) is the active program, the highlight is "sticky", staying on the first item in the Alt+Tab list (Excel) instead of moving to the second item as all other programs do. It is necessary to keep holding Alt while letting go of Tab and then pressing it a second time to get the second item to highlight. After this, further Tab presses work as normal. I.e. pressing Alt+Tab once and letting go of both keys has no useful effect if Excel is the active program, as the same program remains as the active one.



This answer: https://superuser.com/a/923381/148107 says to uncheck File => Options => Advanced => Display => Show all windows in the Taskbar. While this does allow Alt+Tab to work the same for Excel as it does for other programs, Excel no longer works the way the rest of the Office suite does because Alt+Tab can't be used to switch between documents anymore, as well as hiding all non-active documents on the taskbar (different from Visio, where all the documents are available on the taskbar, but only the active one appears in the Alt+Tab task list).



Is there a way to get the Alt+Tab list (with window preview) to automatically highlight the second item on a single press if Excel is the currently active program, and Excel document switching is enabled?
