Dean and Sameer,
With appreciation for both of your contributions on this, I have to say that
Debbie's method of using the Control G (go to) function-- or sort of
misusing it, if that's what this strategy amounts to-- is the simpler and
easier to remember of the two methods for returning to the original
navigational function of Control PageDown. I'd love to know what both these
methods actually are doing, for a sense of context, if Sameer or Dean/Debbie
can elucidate. If not, I'll still be happy to have both these instructions
in my Word arsenal. There's little more frustrating in a long document than
to lose the page-by-page function of that command just because, also in the
service of navigating and editing a document, you had to do a Find to, well,
fine something. I always thought what that does to control page down was
kind of thoughtless in design terms.
anyway, thanks for all the help. I'm glad I pitched in on this thread, even
though my own attempt to offer a helpful suggestion earlier turned out not
to be as knowledgeable as I thought it was.
Daniel

Debbie Kessler sent this to the list earlier; here is the relevant
part of her message concerning restoring the functionality of the
ctrl-pgdn key:
Normally, ctrl + page down moves you through a document a page at a
time. So, to go back and have these keys move you a page at a time,
do the following:
Open the go to dialog box with ctrl + g
the focus is in the edit field
press the delete key
press the enter key
press escape
Now, ctrl + page down will move you through a document a page at a time.
Debbie
