Quickly go from bookmark to bookmark "Rich Mogy" <rmogy[ at ]sbcglobal.net> 11/14/2008 4:32:12 PM I am in the process of creating a document that will have one page for each client and the sales person will make notes on specific pages, which I will mark with a bookmark and create a bookmark list. Is it possible to change the functionality of the page down key to go to the next page with a book mark rather than just page down a screen, and if so, how? Thanks Rich Mogy

To change the browse target to any of the other available types, click the circle button between the double arrows and choose from the flyout menu. It's also possible to change the keyboard shortcut assigned to this function. In the Tools > Customize > Keyboard dialog, choose the Edit category and change or add the shortcuts for the BrowseNext and BrowsePrev commands. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Re: Quickly go from bookmark to bookmark "Rich Mogy" <rmogy[ at ]sbcglobal.net> 11/14/2008 6:25:15 PM Thanks Jay, but I'm interested in creating code so my lazy users can do this without "all that overhead" -- just hit the PgDn key.

Re: Quickly go from bookmark to bookmark Jay Freedman <jay.freedman[ at ]verizon.net> 11/14/2008 10:09:07 PM I'm sorry, but Word doesn't quite have the tools to do that. You can use code to assign the PgDn key to the BrowseNext command: Sub PgDnToBrowseNext() Dim myKB As KeyBinding ' set keybinding of PgDn to BrowseNext CustomizationContext = NormalTemplate Set myKB = FindKey(KeyCode:=wdKeyPageDown) myKB.Rebind KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryCommand, _ Command:="BrowseNext" Application.Browser.Target = wdBrowseGoTo End Sub But this has two drawbacks: (1) I don't see any way in code to simulate the selection of bookmarks in the GoTo dialog; by default the selection is "Page". I tried the hack of using the SendKeys command to try to push keystrokes into the dialog, but it doesn't work. The overall effect is that there's no change in behavior, unless the user manually goes through the GoTo dialog and selects something else. (2) Even if the user cooperates on point 1, as soon as the user does a Find or selects one of the other browse targets the PgDn keystroke will start executing that browse instead of the bookmarks. It seems to me this would be even more confusing than Word's usual chaos.
