Because we're all such fogey-fied users of Word that no one has experimented
with Notebook Layout much. At least that's the case for me. :)

However, if you select the little dot between the double arrows and set it
to Section, then the double arrows will switch from tab to tab (because the
tabs are sections, as John said). A quick test here worked.
(additional info: http://daiya.mvps.org/browseobject.htm)

But you want keyboard--So, the command BrowseNext and BrowsePrev should be
equivalent to hitting those little double arrows. That's the same thing JE
McGimpsey recommended, which you said didn't work.

I just got it to work here--but the default command is cmd-page down, and so
on my laptop I had to hold fn-cmd-down arrow for it to work (so at first I
thought it didn't work--because fn-down arrow is Page Down). You can use
Tools | Customize to reassign the keyboard shortcuts for BrowseNext and
BrowsePrev--look under the alphabetical All Commands list.

It works here, so post back on this thread with details if it doesn't work
for you. The little dot has to be set to Section first.

Once you've got the basics working, it might be a good macro to record the
"set to section and click Next" "set to Section and click Previous", though
I don't know much about macros in Notebook Layout. But I've got a couple of
macros essentially just like that.

Dear John and Daiya:

Thank for the detailed and very helpful answers to my post.

They have addressed my questions and the issues I have been experiencing
with the notebook view. I actually learned different ways to work with it
beyond what I was trying to accomplish.

It is a great thing for users to be able to find the kind of help you offer
here. I am very happy with the opportunity to have access to such
knowledgeable assistant as you offer here and wanted to take the time to
thank you for helping me and all others in this newsgroup.

Thank you very much again for your help.

Best regards,

Joseph
