And then you can easily force the text that you are currently typing to be at eye level without having to take your hand off your keyboard and grab the mouse. By following the instructions above, you can make the Page Down and Page Up keys in Word behave like scrolling commands rather than commands that move the insertion point. And if I want to make the insertion point visible without typing text, I can always just hit one of the cursor keys, which will have the same effect. As soon as I resume typing, Word will automatically scroll back up a few lines in order to make the insertion point and the text around it visible.
#OS X WORD MACROS FULL#
Sometimes Word will jump a full screen and, because the insertion point was not exactly on the last line of visible text at the bottom of the window, it will become invisible, because it will be a few lines to high in relation to the visible part of the document in the window. jump down or up one screen without moving the insertion point. Once this is done, and I’ve made sure the Normal template with all these changes is saved, I can use the Page Down and Page Up keys in any document window to do exactly what I want, i.e. Word will of course complain that these keyboard shortcuts are already assigned to built-in Word commands (namely “PageDown” and “PageUp”), but that’s OK, because I don’t want to use these built-in commands, so they can lose their keyboard shortcut. Once I have saved these two macros, all I need to do is go to the “Customize” dialog, click on the “Keyboard…” button, and assign the Page Down key to the MyPageDown macro and the Page Up key to the MyPageUp macro. scroll down or up one screen, while leaving the insertion point where it is. These two macros do exactly what I would like the Page Down and Page Up keys to do in Word, i.e. The macros are the following:Ī Down:=1Ī Up:=1 Yes, I want to jump one screen down so that the text and insertion point that are currently at the bottom of the window will appear at the top of the window, but I want the insertion point to stay exactly where it is!įortunately, with a couple of simple macros, I can change this behaviour. If I use the Page Down key to adjust the position of the text and the insertion point and bring them closer to the top of the window, then Word also moves the insertion point at the same time, which is clearly not what I want. When I am typing text, I like to be much higher in the documeot window and have a large expanse of empty space below, so that the text that I am typing is approximately at eye level at all times. But it stays at the bottom of the window. where the insertion point currently is) remains visible. When I reach the bottom of the window and continue typing, Word makes the document scroll up inside the window in order to ensure that what I am typing (i.e. I am typing text, starting at the top of the window. The typical situation where this happens is the following. I personally find this highly problematic, because it means that if I want to scroll up or down my document without moving the insertion point, I have to take my hand off the keyboard and grab the mouse and use the scroll bar. In a document window in Normal view mode in Microsoft Word X, the default behaviour of the “Page Up” and “Page Down” keys is to jump approximately one screen up or down and to move the cursor (insertion point) accordingly.
