Link to the next page?

sai19 · #1 11-27-2018, 01:23 AM

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to create links to the next page in word. But when I try to add a link it only allowes me to go to headers I created within the document.

Is there a way to create a link which goes to the next page? If yes, how would I do that?

Thank you in advance for your help.

You could use a pair of macros attached to buttons on the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) or keyboard shortcuts http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

Code:

Sub Go_To_Next()
    Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToPage, which:=wdGoToNext
End Sub

Sub Go_To_Previous()
    Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToPage, which:=wdGoToPrevious
End Sub

or you could just click the Page icon at the bottom left of the ststus bar.

In the Customize Keyboard dialog box (File | Options | Customize Ribbon | Customize), you can assign keyboard shortcuts to the built-in NextPage and PrevPage commands.

Thank you for your reply

. The problem I have with this option is the following:

This document is used as a knowledge base. So who ever uses it needs to have this changed.

The shortcuts need to be saved to a template which is accessible to all users, for example, a global template (in the Startup folder).

I am a big fan of global templates.

Or, they could even be saved in the document.
QAT modifications can also be saved in a document.

Indeed, saving to the document may be the best solution in this case.
