I have MS Office 2003 and when I press Page Down nothing happens. Can
someone tell me how to fix this? Thanks. |

Two possiblities:
1. You have your SCROLL LOCK turned on. Check your keyboard (usually somewhere above the arrow keys) for the button and see if it's turned on (usually has a light on it). or 2. You're using the page up and down keys on the number pad, but you have the num lock button turned on (in which case you'd get the number for that button instead). Hope this helps.

Thanks Bob. It was neither of these situations. But when I checked other
documents it was not a problem in them. Apparently it is only in this one document -- likely a corrupted document in some way. "BobT" wrote in message ... Two possiblities: 1.

I checked (under properties) to see if it was hidden or read-only, and it
was not. Is that what you meant? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Or it could be protected. -- Suzanne S.

I just did a bit more analysis. This file only has one page. That is why
the cursor did not move upon pressing Page-down. I realize that pressing ctrl-End will take me to the bottom of the page. Is there a way to make the Page down key do what it normally does except if it is on the last page of the document, and in that case go to the bottom of the page? Thanks for the help. "Suzanne S.

Hi Bob,
You can assign the PageDown key to this macro. On pages other than the last, it doesn't move the selection to quite the same location, but it's the best I could do... Public Sub MyPageDown() If Selection.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber) _ = ActiveDocument.Range.Information( _ wdActiveEndPageNumber) Then Selection.EndKey unit:=wdStory Else Selection.MoveDown unit:=wdScreen, _ Count:=1, Extend:=wdMove End If End Sub -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Bob S wrote: I just did a bit more analysis.
