Takeaway: Words Go To feature has two modes of navigation. You can use it to access an element once, or you can browse common elements, one by one.

You probably know that you can use the Go To feature ([F5]) to quickly access any number of elements in your document. You can go to a specific page, section, line, bookmark, and so on. You simply press [F5], identify the element, and enter a number-easy as pie.

What you might not know is that you can use this same feature to browse through the document. By browse, I mean you can step through common elements easily. For example, you can use this feature to access, in order, all the endnotes in a document, one by one, without specifying each one by number.

First, lets run though a quick example using Go To to access a single element. When doing so, remember that this feature begins searching at the cursors position, so you might want to move the cursor first - or not. Then, press [F5] and identify the element, such as Endnote. Then, enter a number in the Enter control, and click Go To. Thats it!

Now, lets suppose you want to browse all the endnotes. To do so, youd position the cursor where you want to start browsing and press [F5]. Next, youd select Endnote, as before. But this time, instead of entering a number in the Enter control, youd press Next. Hmmmm, Next wasnt available in the last example, was it? It was, until you entered a number in the Enter control - thats when Word changed the Next label to Go To. Try it all again and watch that label update, if you like.

Without entering a number, click Next to move through the documents endnotes, one by one. Click Close when youre done.

You can also move back and forth between sections and return to browsing later - its up to you. Knowing that Go To has an additional navigating behavior is the key to using it efficiently.
