-
Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
SUMMARY
The vertical scroll bar in Microsoft Word for Windows indicates your
approximate location in the current document. The scroll bar position
is not relative to the the document's page numbers; instead, it is
relative to the total number of possible cursor positions in the
document.
For example, if the insertion point is on page 35 of a 70-page
document, the vertical scroll bar position is not necessarily in the
middle of the scroll bar; its position is relative to the position of
the insertion point in the document, based on document size.
MORE INFORMATION
You can demonstrate this behavior with the following steps:
- Create a new document in Word for Windows.
- Insert 70 page breaks (press CTRL+ENTER).
- Insert five full pages of text following the 70 page breaks.
- Position the insertion point on the first page (press CTRL+HOME).
Note that the vertical scroll bar position is at the top of the scroll
bar.
- From the Edit menu, choose Goto. Type 70 in the Go To box, and choose the OK button. This moves the
insertion point on the first line of text on page 70.
Even though you are on page 70 of 75, the vertical scroll bar position
remains near the top of the bar because the insertion point is still
near the beginning of the document relative to its content.
