You can also enable Exposé in System Preferences. If, for instance, you set it to the bottom-right corner, moving the cursor to that position will show a reduced view of all the active windows in any application.

Here is an old video tutorial for Leopard, but the interface hasn't changed. It's a 2½ minute crash course on Exposé:

On a Mac the "add-in" is known as OS X :-) Specific options vary from one version to another, but if you're using Snow Leopard, for example, one method is...

Control-Click the app's icon in the Dock. The contextual menu provides a list by name of the documents currently open in that program. Select what you want.

Also, note the distinction between Command+Tilde, which you referred to & Command+Tab suggested by Phillip. Command+Tab enables switching between app windows rather than document windows.

    when multiple word/ excel files are open in office for mac, it is difficult to switch between the open docs (i am aware of command+tilde for switching files open in same software) .. but an add in software e.g. (http://office-tabs.com/) displays open documents as Tabs (similar to tabs in Chrome) which makes it easy to navigate between open docs... this software works only on Windows OS.. I wanted to know if a similar software is available on Mac OS X....
