MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / June 2004How to move thru doc one screen at a time?
Page Down/Up works fine, but when reading a doc I'd like to move thru it one screen (I use Word maximized) at a time. How to do this? Thanks, Jack Crane Hi Jack. There should be a vertical scroll bar at the right side of your screen. If it's not visible, turn it on by clicking on Tools | Options | View | check the "Vertical scroll bar" box. At the top of the vertical scroll bar is a ^ button, and at the bottom is an upside-down ^ button. Inbetween the two buttons is a slider that indicates your current position in the document. Click in the white space in the scroll bar below the slider to move one screen down, and click in the white space in the scroll bar above the slider to move one screen up. Drag the slider up or down to move quickly to a different part of the document. > Page Down/Up works fine, but when reading a doc I'd like to move thru it > one screen (I use Word maximized) at a time.

I'm a bit disappointed, because I was hoping that I could use a key or key combination to move up/down one screen. I can do this with Eudora and Textpad, using the Page Up/Down key.

That's what these commands do: they move the text by one screen, whatever the size of the screen is. Now, are you sure that the PageUp and PageDown keys are assigned to the PageUp and PageDown commands? Perhaps they're assigned to something else, like BrowseNext and BrowsePrev. To find out, press Alt+Ctrl+Num+ (that's the plus sign in the numeric keypad on the right of your keyboard) and then press PageDown, and a special version of the Customize Keyboard dialog box should display telling you what command is assigned to that keystroke.

The docs I was using Page Up/Down with were all created by copying and pasting a whole web page of text (using Ctrl A, not by saving the page). I found that those keys work fine on other docs. And the solution to my problem is to copy and paste the text of the problem docs into new Word docs and working with them (I'm proof reading the pages for the webmaster).

The GoToPreviousPage and GoToNextPage commands work a bit different than PageUp and PageDown. Might be a little closer to what you want. >> Page Down/Up works fine, but when reading a doc I'd like to move thru >> it one screen (I use Word maximized) at a time.

GoToNextPage takes the cursor to the top of the next numbered page of the document. By default (at least in Word 97) it is not assigned to a key. You can go to Customize Keyboard dialog box (Tools, Customize, Keyboard), choose All commands in the left pane, scroll to GoToNextPage in the right pane, and assign a keystroke. > >> Page Down/Up works fine, but when reading a doc I'd like to move thru > >> it one screen (I use Word maximized) at a time.
