I've searched around for the answer to this but can't find it.

I'm using Word 2000 under Windows XP Pro SP2. Following a computer crash
I've just reinstalled all my software.

In my previous Word setup I'd reassigned the keys PgUp and PgDn to give
"Previous Page" and "Next Page" respectively, so I could move through files
one whole A4 page at a time. This worked very well.

However, redoing this for the new installation has caused a curious snag:
though the onscreen view of the document changes correctly, the insertion
cursor (if that's the right term) doesn't move correspondingly: it stays at
its original position in the text.

I'm quite sure that in my old installation the cursor moved up or down along
with the displayed view.

Was there a step in the reassignment that I've omitted this time? Or is
there some other setting I need to adjust to achieve what I want?

Many thanks for any help.

Sorry to answer my own question, but I've just found the answer:

I was mistaken in thinking that previously I had reassigned PgUp and PgDn to
Previous Page and Next Page; what I actually did was assign to each a
keyboard macro: "Ctrl + Previous Page" and "Ctrl + Next Page" respectively.
This *does* move the cursor along with the display.

I hope this might be of us to somebody else out there; if not, my apologies
for wasting the space.

Ctrl+PgUp & Ctrl+PgDn already do what you want - at least I'm pretty sure
2000 worked the same way.

Thanks for the thought, but each of those is a double keypress; my way
involves just a single. Much faster and more convenient.
