PageDown/PageUp to perfectly match page height in MS Word
Hello,
Is there a way to produce a PageDown/PageUp movement which precisely matches the height of the page in MS Word (2010)?
For example, when Full Screen Reading is selected in the MS Word View menu, the Word window is maximized and the Title bar, Menu bar, Quick Access Toolbar, and Status bar are hidden. More importantly (for my question) is that pressing PageDown/PageUp causes the document to scroll down/up exactly one page (i.e. so you are not seeing the bottom of the preceding page or top of the following page).
I'm not so much concerned about the presence of the toolbars but I'd like to find a way to obtain the exact PageDown/PageUp ability when the Word window is not maximized.
Obviously you can manually adjust the vertical size of a non-maximized window to perfectly fit the displayed page but I cannot find a way to get the PageDown/PageUp keys to cause a scroll jump that perfectly matches the displayed page size.
Is there a setting or other way to accomplish that? For example, can a macro be written which moves the displayed page down or up by a precisely defined amount?
Thanks

Sorry, I missed your last comment.
I suppose that you have worked it out now; you were so close when you said that you select 'All Commands'.
At the end of the list that includes 'All Commands' is 'Macros'. By selecting this you are presented with a list of all macros that can be used. They will be Subs (not Functions) without calling arguments. You can create QAT buttons for macros in the same way that you can do for Word Commands.

That would be great because I'm a big fan of the QAT and generally have the Ribbon hidden. However, I'm not sure what you mean by "use Customize".
I'm familiar with File > Options > Quick Access Toolbar, and then that whole screen has the title "Customize the Quick Access Toolbar".
I usually select All Commands from the left-side drop-down and know how to Add/Remove shortcuts from there. But I'm not familiar with creating new shortcut buttons to go with VBA macros.
Can you give me a bit more detail or a quick walk-through re how to do that?
Thanks again,
Steve
