The information in this article applies to:
In Microsoft Word 97, the color of the Previous Page and Next Page buttons on the vertical scroll bar change to blue, and the ToolTips change to Previous Find/GoTo and Next Find/GoTo.
Also, when you press these buttons or their shortcut keys (CTRL+PAGE UP or CTRL+PAGE DOWN), the insertion point either remains in the same place, goes to an incorrect location, or Word displays the following message:
Word has reached the {beginning or end} of the document. Do you want to
continue searching at the {beginning or end}?
The Previous Page and Next Page buttons are black by default. When a different browse object type is selected, other than Browse By Page, the buttons turn blue to indicate that the Previous and Next buttons have been reassigned. The ToolTips for these buttons also indicate the current button assignments.
For example, the prompt to "continue searching" indicates that a search is active, and the buttons have been reassigned to Previous Find/GoTo and Next Find/GoTo.
Use any of the following methods to reset the Previous and Next buttons to Previous Page and Next Page.
Click the Select Browse Object button (located between the Next and Previous buttons on the scroll bar), and then click the Browse By Page icon (far right, top row).
