Yardbird,
There is a FAQ on the FS website regarding using the Control+Page Up and
Control+Page down commands after using the Find command in Word. I am
pasting the relevant bulletin below.

Question:
In Microsoft Word, how do I use CTRL+PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN to move through
the pages of my document after using Word's Find command?
Answer:
In Microsoft Word, you can use CTRL+PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN to move through a
document by page, table, heading, section, and so on. When you first start
Word,
pressing CTRL+PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN moves you through the document by page.
However, after you use Word's Find command (CTRL+F) to search for text,
CTRL+PAGE
UP and PAGE DOWN move to the previous or next instance of the text you
entered.
If you want to use CTRL+PAGE DOWN and PAGE UP to move to the next and
previous pages of your document again after using the Find command, do the
following:
1. In Microsoft Word, press INSERT+3. This passes the next keystroke you
press through to Word.
2. Press ALT+CTRL+HOME to open the Select Browse Object menu.
3. Select "Browse by Page" and press ENTER.
You can now use CTRL+PAGE DOWN and PAGE UP to move to the next and previous
page of your document.
To select a different type of object to move to when you press CTRL+PAGE
DOWN or PAGE UP, do the following:
1. In Microsoft Word, press INSERT+3. This passes the next keystroke you
press through to Word.
2. Press ALT+CTRL+HOME to open the Select Browse Object menu.
3. Use the arrow keys to select the object you want to browse for and press
ENTER.
You can now press CTRL+PAGE DOWN or PAGE UP to move through the document by
the object you selected.
Regards
Sameer
