Visio document hot key problems

I am having 2 problems with Visio's active document arrangement:

1. If I open 2 completely different documents, Visio treats them as
separate pages under the Window menu item rather than separate tasks.
This means that to hot key between them I need to use Ctrl+F6 rather
than Alt+Tab.

Is there any way to fix this?

This wouldn't be so bad except for problem #2:

2. When I open a Visio document, the same 3-4 pages are always
automatically loaded into the "active" page list (Windows menu item).
How can I get these to go away? Why does this happen?

Visio does not use the single document interface that Excel and Word use, so
Alt-Tab is not an option. I'm not sure what you are describing in your
second statement.

I have Visio document that has 14 foreground pages plus 1 background
page. Every time I open it in Visio, 3 pages immediately show up nder
the Windows menu item.

On the toolbar, I click on Windows and I see:

1 Book name.vsd:Background-1
2 Book name.vsd:Page-4
3 Book name.vsd:1

The document pages are numbered

1
XXXXX
Page-3
Page-4
Page-5
....
Page-14
Background-1
