Jumping to Tables

Summary: If your document contains quite a few tables, you may find it helpful to jump quickly from one table to another. There are two ways you can do this: using Go To and the Object Browser. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)

If you need to find tables within your documents, then there are a couple of ways you can approach the task. The first is to use the Go To command. Simply follow these steps:

  1. Press F5. Word displays the Go To tab of the Find and Replace dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  2. In the Go To What list (left side of the dialog box), choose Table.
  3. Click on Next to find the next table.
  4. Click on Previous to find the previous table.
  5. Click on Close when completed.

The other approach you can use is the Object Browser. Follow these steps:

  1. Click on the Select Browse Object button. It is located near the bottom of the vertical scroll bar, and has a small round dot on it. A palette of objects appears.
  2. From the object palette, choose the Browse by Table option. It is the one located at the right side of the top row.
  3. Click on the Next arrows (the blue arrows pointing down) to find the next table.
  4. Click on the Previous arrows (the blue arrows pointing up) to find the previous table.

Tip #867 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003 | 2007
