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
