How do you view text from back to front? In other words, I'd like to
view the last page in a 100 page document, instead of the usual first
page.

Hi jimbo0284,

I'm sorry for the delay in posting this, I've been having trouble
maintaining my internet connection.

Okey dokey, to jump to the end of your document, you'll want to use
the "Go To" command, which can be accessed in a few ways.

To open the Go To menu:

1) Double-click in the status bar (any spot that shows the page
number, section number, line number, etc) and the Go To menu will
automatically open.

2) Press F5

3) Press Ctrl + G

4) Click on Edit / Go To / and open the Go To menu.

Once you have the Go To menu open, highlight "page" and type the page
number you want to jump to. It is also possible to jump to a specific
section, line, footnote, etc.

Here are some more tips, thanks to Ian's Messy Desk:

Microsoft Word XP Tip:
Double-Click Techniques:
"Here are some shortcuts to dialogue boxes and functionality you can
invoke by double-clicking your mouse:
* Open the Page Set-up dialogue box, which provides access to margin,
paper size and orientation (portrait and landscape), and layout
(section start, header/footer control) options by double-clicking on
the ruler bar. (If the ruler isn?t shown, use the View/Ruler command.)
Note: If you do not have a printer installed, the Page Set-up dialogue
box may not appear. (Alternative: Use the File/Page Set-up command.)
* Double-click ?TRK? in the status bar at the bottom of the work area
to turn Track Changes on. This feature triggers Word to use a
different colour when displaying your changes, so the document?s
author can easily spot your work. (Alternative: use the Tools/Track
Changes command.)
* Double-click in the location information in the status bar (any spot
within the area that shows the page number, section number, vertical
position, line number, and column number of the blinking insertion
bar) to open the Go To menu. By default, the dialogue box is ready
with ?Go to Page? (you enter the page number). The tabbed dialogue box
also provides access to Find as well as Find and Replace commands.
(Alternative: Press F5, Ctrl+G, or use the Edit/Go To command.)
* Double-click in any empty area surrounding the top toolbar to open
the Customize dialogue box to tailor the toolbar to your liking.
(Alternative: Right-click in the same area and choose Customize.)
* Double-click on the speller icon in the status bar to begin the
spelling checker. (Alternative: Tools/Spelling and Grammar menu
command, or press F7.)
* Double-click on the splitter bar (just above the up- pointing arrow
in the vertical scrollbar) to open two equal- sized panes for the same
document. This allows you to edit two different areas of the same
document. (Tip: Double click on the border between the two panes to
return to a single-pane view.) (Alternative: Window/Split menu
command.)
* Select a word by double-clicking it. (Triple click to select the
current paragraph.)"

Very good answer. Thanks1

You can also just open your file and hit Ctrl+End
That takes you to the end of your document.
Using Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown keys lets you move up or down a
page at a time, bringing the top of the page into view each time.

If you want to perform this task automatically, so that whenever you
open a specific document, you are automatically taken to the end of
it, you can do this:

Open Word.
Open your file.
Hit Alt+F11 to go to the Visual Basic Editor (VBE).
On the left, double-click "ThisDocument" underneath your file's name
(NOT "normal").
Paste the following code into the right-hand side window:

Option Explicit
Private Sub Document_Open()
    Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory
End Sub


Hit the Save diskette.
Close the VBE.
Close your file.
Reopen it to test the code.

Macros must be enabled:
Tools-Macro-Security, choose Medium (and then Enable macros on opening
the document) or choose Low (no need to enable, they're enabled
automatically). Some people will tell you not to choose Low security.
I disagree because there hasn't been a macro virus in years...the
hackers are having too much fun with email viruses.
