try vo-f2 twice to bring up a list of open windows. On Mar 3, 2012, at 12:18 PM, Julio C.

It only switches me to the other application windows or brings me back to the same VO utilities window. If I go to the menu and arrow down the windows options, I only see one applications window available to choose from. Is one of those other options on that windows drop-down the one I need to take me back to the topic I left? How does one switch to different windows within an application window?
