How to move thru doc one screen at a time?

[Jack Crane]

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.

Thanks very much for your careful explanation. 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.

Jack,

I don't understand why PageUp and PageDown would not serve your purpose
in Maximized view as well as in any other view. 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 GoToPreviousPage and GoToNextPage commands work a bit different than
PageUp and PageDown. Might be a little closer to what you want.

What are the keys for these commands?

Larry, thanks for getting me to recheck. 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).

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.

Good ole dos...

F6 - forward
Shift + F6 - backwards

That swaps windows, not pages.
