Jumping to a Relative Section

Summary: Documents can contain many different sections for formatting purposes. You may want to jump to other sections relative to the one in which the insertion point is located. This tip explains an easy way to accomplish this task. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

In other issues of WordTips you learn how you can use the Go To function to jump to a specific section in your document. If you have quite a few sections in your document, you may find this tip helpful. You can also use the Go To function to jump to a section relative to the current section. This is done in this manner:

  1. Choose Go To from the Edit menu, or press F5. You will see the Go To tab of the Find and Replace dialog box.
  2. Choose Section in the left side of the dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  3. In the Enter Section Number box, enter a plus or minus sign and how many section numbers you want to jump. Plus is forward; minus is backward. For instance, you could jump back three sections by entering -3.
  4. Click on Go To.

Tip #1256 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.
