If a document contains several tables, you might want to move from table to table without scrolling through all the text between them. The good news is -– you can! Actually, there are two ways to jump from one table, avoiding text, to another in a Word document: Go To and Select Browse Object.
Using Go To (or [F5]) is probably the best known method, but this method leaves the Find And Replace dialog box on top of the document, which might obscure the text. You can always move it, but it’s still a bit of a nuisance. To use Go To to move from table to table, do the following:
- Press [F5].
- In the resulting Find And Replace dialog box, choose Table from the Go To What list.
- Click Previous or Next, appropriately.
- Repeat step 3 until you’re done.
- Click Close to close the Find And Replace dialog box.
- Click the Select Browse Object button to display a palette of objects.
- From the palette, choose Browse By Table.
- Click Next (the down arrow below the button) to select the next table in the document or click Previous (the up arrow above the button) to select the previous table.
