Tell application 'Microsoft Word' to large scroll active pane of active window down 1 Tell application 'Microsoft Word' to large scroll active pane of active window up 1 Files in this folder show up in the scripts menu in Word, which is the first step. So I finally figured out four one-line AppleScript scripts that bring back my desired scrolling behavior.Ĭopy each of these lines to a new document in AppleScript Editor (Snow Leopard) or Script Editor (Leopard) and save them in ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Word Script Menu Items, naming them, respectively, “Page Up”, “Page Down”, “Home”, and “End” (the exact names are important for later on). And they should do all this without moving the bloody insertion point!īefore Visual Basic for Applications went away, I wrote some macros that did this and reassigned the key commands. I believe – and am willing to quote chapter and verse from the Apple Human Interface Guidelines to support my belief – that they should, respectively, scroll up one screen, scroll down one screen, scroll to the top of the document, and scroll to the bottom of the document.

Microsoft Word has always screwed up the Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End keys on the Mac.
