Open a multi-page document in Word and you can jump through it a page at a time using CTRL+PgDn.

Now do a search for a word in the document.

Now do CTRL+PgDn. It doesn’t work the same way any more.

How do I get it to go back to the original functioning without closing the document and re-opening it? That is a seriously frustrating and stoopid change in functionality.
