None of this has changed significantly going back to pre-OS X. Window menu contains a list only of currently open documents from which you can select which you want to have brought to the front. Recently Used documents (which can get rather long) - any of which may or may not be open at any given time. Also, open documents have never been listed/selectable in the.That is in compliance with Apple User Interface guidelines. In all versions of Office written for OS X documents open in separate windows.I'm afraid I really don't understand your question for several reasons.
