Microsoft Word 2007 - An Easy Way to Navigate Through Your Word Document

When you're working on a long document, it is easy to lose your place. And you can spend a lot of time scrolling through your document to find a particular section. In Word 2007, there is an easy way to navigate through your document. You can turn on the thumbnails view.

To turn on thumbnail view:

1. Click on View in the Ribbon.

2. In Show/Hide section, select Thumbnails.

On the left side of the screen, a pane will open containing thumbnails of your document's pages.

With thumbnails view, you'll see small pictures of each page of your document. The thumbnails are too small to read. However, you'll see the general layout of the pages, including pictures and other objects. Also, each thumbnail is numbered, so you can easily jump to a specific page.

When you click on a thumbnail, Word will automatically open that page in the main document area. You can begin editing without using the arrow keys to move the cursor or using the scroll bar.

It’s a great time saving tip. Try it the next time you have a large document.
