Help Viewing and moving around

Move between pages

Scroll, jump to a page, use page thumbnails, drag with the hand, let the pages scroll by themselves, and go back to where you were.

Pages scroll continuously, one after another. You can also jump straight to a page, and step back to where you were before a jump.

Steps

  1. Scroll with the mouse wheel or the scroll bar.
  2. Press Page Down or Page Up to move one page; Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End go to the first and last page.
  3. To go to a page by number, press Ctrl+Shift+G (or click the page field in the status bar), type the number and press Enter.
  4. In the document panel, choose the Pages tab and click a page picture to jump to it.
  5. After a jump, press Alt+Left to go Back and Alt+Right to go Forward.
  6. To drag the pages around with the mouse, in the rail choose Home, then Hand in the Quick tools group, and drag.
  7. To let the pages scroll by themselves, press Ctrl+Shift+H, or choose Autoscroll in the View menu. Press Esc, click the page or turn the mouse wheel to stop.

Good to know

  • Scrolling does not add to the Back history; jumps do (going to a page number, clicking a page picture, a link, a bookmark or a search result).
  • Each document remembers its own page and history while it is open.
  • To glide to a page instead of jumping, open Settings, choose the Viewing page and turn on Smooth scrolling. It stays off while Reduce motion is on.
  • To see each page's number at its foot while you scroll, turn on Page numbers on pages on the same page.
  • Autoscroll speed on the same page sets how fast Autoscroll moves: Slow, Medium or Fast. It stops by itself at the end of the document; with Single page chosen, it turns each page when it reaches the page's end.
