Default Go to absolute page number

Terry,

Thanks for giving me something to try. Although it's not what I asked for,
it gave me an idea to test.

It's actually the other way around. I don't know the section number, nor do
I know the page number within the section; I only know the absolute page
number in the document. Without regard to sections, I'm trying to get to the
51st page in the entire 363-page document.

I just tried typing 51/363 in the Goto dialog and Word said it was not a
valid number.

Type in s2p51 or s9p144 and not just the page number.

Your question was complicated enough for me to understand, how do you
expect Word to know? So you have to tell Word the section as well as the
page number. This is the same for printing parts of documents too.

In a document with many sections, how do I go to an absolute page number,
for instance, page 51/363?

If I try using the Go To dialog box, it takes me to page 51 of the first
section that has 51 or more pages. In the case of the document in
question, that was page 149/363 (but it was page 51 of that section).
