split screen and F6

I love the split screen option as I type 1 continuous document. My first page is a log page with names. The following pages are letters. With the split screen I can go back and forth between my log page (page 1) and my next letter (last page). To do this in Word 97 I used the split screen with the F6 key to go back and forth.

I am now trying Vista with the split screen and the F6 key. I can use the F6 and it moves me from the bottom up to the top no problem. But, when I use F6 to go from top down to bottom of the split screen I have to hit the F6 3 or 4 times to get it to work.

1st time hit F6 (to move from top to bottom) it does nothing. 2nd time I thnk it is bringing up shortcut keys for ribbon (H, N,P,S,W,Y) and then the 3rd time it actually moves to the bottom of the split screen.

Wondering if there is another key in Vista I should be using for moving back and forth in split screen, or if it is just the way this dumb Vista is set up. Can't tell you how many times I use this key everyday. Any help would be so appreciated. Thanks
