If you use the keyboard to navigate, you may find it’s easiest to move around in the document by pressing direction keys, such as RIGHT ARROW, HOME, and PAGE UP. You can also get where you want to go with a few mouse clicks.

Three screenshots: first two show how to move around in a document using the insertion point; second shows how to use the scroll bars.

Screenshot shows a page indicator.

Tip Icon

You are here   As you drag the scroll box on the vertical scroll bar, a page indicator shows where you’ll land when you release the mouse button. If your document includes headings with the Heading 1 style, the heading text will also appear with the page number.

The screen scrolls back to where you started   If you scroll through the document and start typing, and the screen scrolls back to where you started, it’s because you didn’t move the insertion point. To type in the location you scrolled to, just position the I-beam pointer there and click.
