Get Around Faster & Easier in Microsoft Word

Here are some tricks for navigating inside your Microsoft Word documents faster and more easily. You'll save a lot of time -- your boss will think you're a wizard and you can go back to IMing your cousin Sharon a lot sooner.

Selecting ALL the Text in an Entire Document

- Place your cursor in the left margin of your document
- Click the Control key (Ctrl) while pressing your left mouse button once.

Scrolling

See how your scroll bar has some space to move inside its skinny column over there? If you leave some space under the scroll bar and click inside that empty space, you will automatically scroll to the bottom of the screen. Or, if you want to go to the top of the screen in a big hurry, leave some space above the scroll bar and click there.

End of The Line

Take the express to the end of any line in Word. Just click the End key.

View Two Sections of Your Document at Once

- Click on the Window pull-down menu
- Click on Split
- A line will appear on your screen. When you move your mouse up and down, you'll also move the line. Left-click on your mouse when the line is where you want to divide the page. Presto! Your document will appear in two separate sections on-screen!
- To un-split the page, go back under Windows and choose Remove Split.
