Question: I just made the switch from Windows to Mac, and one thing that's been bothering me is that on a Mac, I can't see multiple Word documents that I have open. On Windows, they all appear in the taskbar (after checking the option to not collapse instances of the same program) and I can quickly switch between them, which is useful for a variety of reasons. On a mac, I can't do that. The best way I've discovered so far is to go into mission control, but then I still have to make two gestures instead of one, and it's hard to see which window is which. What's the best way to do this?

Answer: 
* [Hyperdock](http://hyperdock.bahoom.com/) will give you window previews of each open window
belonging to an application by hovering over the dock icon, which you
can then click to activate.

* [Witch](http://manytricks.com/witch/) has a popup panel that displays the open
windows belonging to an application and also gives you a preview if
you hover over it.

* [Fantasktik](http://dj50.ro/fantasktik/) probably offers the most
similar functionality to the Windows taskbar. However, the original
developer seems to have disappeared and this hasn't been updated in a
while (and therefore probably won't ever be). The new
"owner" claims it works on Lion, so it might be worth a try.
