Jumping to a Relative Page

Summary: When you are navigating around your document, you may find it helpful to jump a certain number of pages either toward the beginning of the document or toward the end. You can do this by using the Go To tab of the Find and Replace dialog box. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

Word allows you to use the Go To function to jump to a page number relative to your current position in the document. This is done in the following way:

Choose the Go To option from the Edit menu, or simply press F5. You will see the Go To tab of the Find and Replace dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
On the left side of the dialog box, make sure that you indicate you want to go to a page (this should be the default choice).
Enter either a plus or minus sign, followed by how many pages you want to jump. Plus jumps forward; minus jumps backward.
Click on Go To, or press Enter.

Tip #1240 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003

Great Idea! Word is a tool to get what you really want—printed output. This means you need to make sure that Word works as well as possible with your printer, whether it is sitting on your desk or in a room down the hall.
