Word allows you to move the insertion point to any page in your document by using the Go To command. To take advantage of this feature, follow these steps:
Figure 1. The Go To tab of the Find and Replace dialog box.
If, instead of entering a page number (step 3), you simply click on the Next button, Word moves to the next page in the document.

Thank you for this tip. I was wondering why it's not more straight forward. Never mind.
I don't know how it is for others but with this tip I would have needed to be told also to check the function on the keyboard. Mine is called F Lock and I never use it, although I thought of it when your first step here is to hit F5 and this for me only opened a panel to open a file. I was looking on its left and of course there was nothing to see... But after I pressed F Lock it was ok. Just the same thank you again. MM

Thanks.
Got a version of Word that uses the ribbon interface (Word 2007 or later)? This site is for you! If you use an earlier version of Word, visit our WordTips site focusing on the menu interface.
