Working with Pages

Quick reference

• 00:05 Welcome to the lesson about Working With Pages.
• 00:07 You'll reach a point where your document begins to grow larger and larger, and
• 00:11 you've got to be able to quickly move through the pages to find certain areas.
• 00:16 So I do recommend that you have your View Ribbon and the Navigation Pane checked.
• 00:21 You can also stay here because we're going to be using the items right over here on
• 00:26 these in control.
• 00:27 Now in this particular exercise, I do have a cover page,
• 00:32 I do have page one, two and three, for a total of four pages.
• 00:37 Now if you float your mouse down here where it says,
• 00:40 because I clicked on page four, it's actually telling me page four of four.
• 00:44 You could actually click that, and it will close your navigation pane.
• 00:47 Click it again, and it'll come back on.
• 00:49 Just so you know, just instead of going to the view Navigation Pane,
• 00:53 by clicking that, it's just a faster way to turn that off and on.
• 00:57 All right, I'm gonna scroll on the navigation to get to the top.
• 01:00 But, there's another way.
• 01:02 Even though I haven't clicked it yet I can see page one at the top, but right over
• 01:06 here I'm still clicked, see my insertion point, I'm still clicked on page four.
• 01:10 How do I know that?
• 01:11 Cuz in the bottom left corner it's telling me,
• 01:14 page 404 is where your insertion point is at right now.
• 01:17 Regardless of what your eyes are seeing on the navigation pane,
• 01:20 this page 404 is recording where your insertion point is at.
• 01:24 Now I want to get to the top of my entire document, so
• 01:26 I'm gonna press Ctrl Home on my keyboard Ctrl+Home will always take you to the top.
• 01:31 Now notice on my navigation pane, page 1 has a border around it and
• 01:35 look at down here it says page 1 of 4, my insertion point is now at the top of
• 01:40 the document now the opposite is control end e n d that is right
• 01:45 under your home button control end will take you to the bottom of the document
• 01:49 again you can confirm that navigation pane shows you on your fourth page even though
• 01:54 it says number three that's because the cover page is page zero But look at this.
• 01:58 Page 4 of 4, I'm at the bottom, go ahead and go back to the top with Ctrl + Home.
• 02:01 I would like to actually see multiple pages on the screen.
• 02:05 So down here in the right hand corner, we do have the zoom control.
• 02:09 Now the zoom control has a lever that will shrink this very small.
• 02:13 And I can scroll and I can see multiple pages on the screen.
• 02:17 I would like to see them side by side,
• 02:19 rather than vertically underneath each other.
• 02:21 So on the View Ribbon, right over here, we have these three options.
• 02:25 The first one is One Page.
• 02:27 Go ahead and click the one page button this shows you a complete portrait view of
• 02:32 one single page.
• 02:34 Right under it we have the multiple pages,
• 02:36 this will actually begin to stack them side by side saves you time and scrolling.
• 02:40 You can see the flow of the whole document,
• 02:43 now if I want to see more on there I would simply reduce the zoom control and
• 02:49 it would begin to stack them across.
• 02:51 And so it just depends on how small you use the zoom control to
• 02:54 how many will stack on the screen.
• 02:57 Now I want to see just the page width.
• 02:59 So I click the Page Width button, and it is showing me the entire width
• 03:03 of the page one, where my active insertion point was.
• 03:06 And I can now choose to go to one page, multiple pages,
• 03:10 which it'll go back to just two.
• 03:13 If you want more on there you've got to use the zoom control at the bottom, or
• 03:17 just page width.
• 03:19 And that is how you control pages.
• 03:20 Now, there is another button.
• 03:22 We did the Control+Home and Control+End.
• 03:25 Right beside home and end on your keyboard is page up and page down.
• 03:29 Page Down will send you a screen shot at a time,
• 03:32 a screen width at a time, and Page Up will do the same thing.
• 03:36 But Ctrl+Page Down will send you one full page down at a time,
• 03:40 Ctrl+Page Up will send you one full page up at a time.
• 03:44 Notice also your scroll bar was moving,
• 03:46 you can click in there, in your scroll bar.
• 03:48 And this measures one screen width.
• 03:51 So I can click under that and send it a screen width at a time.
• 03:55 Personally, I like the page up page down buttons.
• 03:58 I like the home, control, home, and end buttons.
• 04:00 And I absolutely love the Multiple Page button right over here.
• 04:04 It's wonderful when you're working with a large document, and
• 04:08 you need to see your page layouts.
• 04:10 All right, I hope that helps you with Working With Pages.
