Skipping through Reading Layout

[Paul_B]

Hi,

Really enjoying Word's Reading Layout here. I find that when I
first invoke it, the down and up arrows move the document a page
at a time - the cursor is not live in the text. But once I do
some editing in the text, I don't know how to get back the page
by page navigation.

Of course I could use the Page Down/Up keys, but the down arrow
is much more comfortable. Is there any way to reclaim its initial
function?

Thanks,
p.

There may be another and easier method, but this seems to work:
Switch to another view type (e.g. Normal). Then switch back to Reading Layout.

You can use this small macro (you can add the macro to a toolbar button
and/or assign a keyboard shortcut to it):

Sub ResetReadingLayoutMode()
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdNormalView
.Type = wdReadingView
End With
End Sub

Thanks, Lene. I'll give that a shot.

Take care,
Paul

Just discovered the answer: use the Page Down key once, and Word
switches back to screen-scroll mode. Very simple solution after
all. Seems they were aware of the problem and took care of it.
