Just a correction: Alt-Tab cycles you through all running 
applications, not documents, unless the applications use a single-
document interface, where each document gets its own window. 
Basically, it cycles through the TaskBar icons (though some windows 
that don't appear in the TaskBar do appear in the task-switching 
list).

Within an application, Ctrl-F6 cycles you through the open documents, 
but doesn't give you the nice popup you get with Alt-Tab indicating 
what's available to cycle through. Some applications also map the 
same function to Ctrl-Tab, but that is often reserved for something 
else (e.g., in Word, Ctrl-Tab is what you use to insert a tab into a 
table cell).
