Using Go To with a Percentage
You can use the Go To function to jump to an approximate position in your document. This is similar to clicking on the vertical scroll bar marker and dragging it an approximate percentage down the scroll bar. To do this using the Go To function, use this technique:
- Press F5. Word displays the Go To tab of the Find and Replace dialog box.
- Make sure that Page is selected as the type of item you want to go to.
- In the text box, enter the numeric percentage and a percent sign. The order of these two does not matter (you can type the percent sign before or after the number). For instance, you could enter 75% or %75.
- Click on Go To.
