Using Go To With a Percentage
Summary: Want to jump half-way through your document? You can easily do so by entering a percentage value into the Go To tab of the Find and Replace dialog box. This tip explains how that “jumping method” really works. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)
You can use the Go To function to jump to an approximate position in your document. This is similar to clicking on the vertical scroll bar marker and dragging it an approximate percentage down the scroll bar. To do this using the Go To function, use this technique:
- Choose Go To from the Edit menu, or press F5. You will see the Go To dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
- Make sure that Page is selected as the type of item you want to go to.
- In the text box, enter the numeric percentage and a percent sign. The order of these two does not matter (you can type the percent sign before or after the number). For instance, you could enter 75% or %75.
- Click on Go To.
