    Ctrl + Tab: Next tab (cycles to the beginning)
    Ctrl + Shift + Tab: Previous tab (cycles to the end)
    Ctrl + Right: Next tab
    Ctrl + Left: Previous tab

    These shortcuts work even if the Task Manager is not in its expanded view.

    1. Right-click on an empty area of the Windows 7 Taskbar.

    2. Select “Start Task Manager”.

    Office 2010 Certain Microsoft Word 2010 documents may contain sections of text with scientific, medical, or other technical jargon, quotations with misspelled words or lack of punctuation, or transcriptions of conversations where formal English rules are not always obeyed. Microsoft office 2010 When typing or inserting such text into documents, you may grow tired of seeing green or red squiggles underneath.

    3. In the “Language” section, click the “Language” button / pull-down.

    6. You can hit the “Cancel” button if you don’t want to make any changes; otherwise, check or uncheck this box as desired and click “OK” to close the dialog box.
