By using some of Word’s funky tools for navigating large documents by object, you can say goodbye to old clunky ways of finding the next object in the document such as the Page Down key or the scroll bar.
Browse your Chosen Object

- Select the object you want to navigate the document for from the options provided
- You are taken to the next object of that type. The object is registered so that the double arrows can then be used to quickly browse to the next or previous object of that type
