A quick way to return back to the table of contents?

It's really annoying to read questions whose answers are available in the resources delivered by Apple.

One of them is entitled *_Keyboard Shortcuts_*

It contain many entries.

Here are four of them :

Scroll to the beginning of the document
Move to the beginning of the document
Scroll to the end of the document
Move to the end of the document

I deliberately removed the descriptions of the shortcuts and I hope that nobody will give them here.
It's time to learn to search by yourself in the available resources.

Right.

I was not looking to goto the top of the document, rather, to the top of the table of contents. Two very different things.

Search the word 'link' in Pages Help. The first hit when I did that was "Linking to other Pages in a Document."

Or you could try the method below.




Put a unique marker at the top of the TOC ( "~~~" works, if you haven't used that elsewhere), or take note of one that's already there.
Press command-F.
Enter the marker.
Click Find.

Actually, Find will take you to the Next occurrence of the search string ('word'), or to the previous one, depending on which button you lick in Find. Which is why I suggested choosing or creating a string unique to the document. It's possible that "table" would appear only at the head of the TOC page; if so it would make a good search term for this purpose.

It can be done, but you might not come back exactly to the same line from where you started in the TOC. I get to the end of my TOC and the TOC is 3 pages long.
You have to do a "reversed" bookmarking and hyperlinking. Select the TOC. You can't just select one word or line. In the Inspector add it as a bookmark. Got to the different headings in the text and select and add as Hyperlink. You just need the one bookmark for all the the headings.

Really the worse thing to write here.
I will put your avatar in my list of blacklisted lazy askers.

By the way, you never did answer my question. I was not looking to goto the top of the document, rather, to the top of the table of contents. Two very different things.

It's certainly why you wrote : *_I have to scroll up to the top of the document again_*

As most of the time questions about TOCs are for TOCs built at the beginning of the document, the result is the same. Isn't it ?

Thanks for your snide reply, it gave me a good laugh. But you're French, so I completely understand.

With such a sentence, you are lucky to be far from me. My hand may strike for less than that !

Press the keys Command F and type table, hit the return key and it will take you to the first page that has table in your document. Most likely, your table of contents.
