If pressing Ctrl-End brings the curser to the right end of the line you are on, how do you get to the bottom of the page?

@gollum,

Don't know if it still works in these newer versions of Word, but I used to be able to press Ctrl-Page Down to get to the bottom of a page.

Here, found this for Word 7. You might want to print it out and keep it by your computer for future reference. I'm going to do the same for mine.

@Butrflynet,

Thanks.

But I find both End and Ctrl-End take me to the end of the line that the curser was already on.

@gollum,

I guess you didn't look at the content at the link I posted.

Butrflynet-
Thank you.

I believe I did. I read:

Ctrl+End To the end of the document
Ctrl+Home To the tippy-top of a document

However, it is not working for me.

I thank you anyway.

@gollum,

Which version of Word are you using?

This is from the Help screen of my Word 2007. If it isn't working for you, it is something local on your PC. You might check the customization settings for Word and see if the navigation shortcuts have somehow been disabled.

@Butrflynet,

If you are using Word 2007, here's what you can do to customize the settings for just one document or for all documents as the default.

Click the Office icon in the upper left corner of the Word screen,
Click the Word Options link at the bottom of the pop up window.
Click on the Customize link in the left hand column.
In the left column, select "Commands Not in Ribbon"
Scroll down to where it says "End of Document" and select it
In the right column, select what you want to customize, just one document or all documents (default).
Click the Add Button in between the two columns
Click Ok.

You will now find a new End of Document icon in the Quick Access Toolbar located above the Home Tab.

@Butrflynet,

The problem that I wrote about occurred on my home PC. I do not know which version of Microsoft Word it uses nor how to find out.

Today I tried it on my office computer. The curser jumps to the top and bottom of the file perfectly. My office PC uses Microsoft Office Word 2007.

My home PC uses Microsoft Office Word 2003.

I guess there is another way to get to the bottom of the file in 2003.
