How do I "Go To" a page number?

I'm using Pages 6.3.1 on MacOS Sierra (10.12.6) and trying to transition from MS Word. In Word there was a command to jump to a specific page number (Option+Command+G).


In Pages, the Thumbnails panel is fine for short documents, but for lengthier ones it's useful to be able to simply jump to, say, page 154.


Does someone know what the Pages equivalent is?


Thank you in advance.

MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

Pages is not based on Word, nor is it a Word clone. There is no “go-to” page number feature in Pages v5+, or v6.3.1. You either click on a page number in the generated Table of Contents, or you enable thumbnail view and scroll to the indicated page number. Just a Pages user discovering another missing Word feature. 😉


In Pages '09, there was a Page x of y in the bottom status panel. One could click on this, and it would transform to a goto window where one could directly input the target page number. Apple never carried this feature forward, along with about 100 other dropped features.
