MS Word browse mode: function "find" cause command ctrl+page down/up unavailable

[surfer0627]

When attempting to navigate through a document using NVDA commands, specifically NVDA+ctrl+f to find text and subsequently using ctrl+page down/up to move to the next/previous page, the "command unavailable".

Steps to reproduce:

• Open the attachment. test_command_ctrl+pageDown.docx
• Press NVDA+space to Switch to browse mode.
• Press NVDA+ctrl+f to find text, and type "htm".
• Press enter
• Press ctrl+page down/up to move to next / previous page. command unavailable

I can reproduce this with Microsoft Word 2013. Even after closing nvda I can no longer use ctl+page down In case anyone is wondering about the difference between page down and ctrl+pagedown is that:

• page down moves by one "screen"
• ctrl + page down moves to the start of the next page.

I can not see any errors in the log.

Maybe, due to the command conflict, which caused ctrl+page down/up unavailable. If we try to "disable Ctrl+PageDown/up going to next search result", then command work as expected. My question is that Do we have an easier way to set this?

Probably caused by interacting with MS Word's range.find object. it must change MS Word's "go to" settings, even though we don't access the UI. If we can work out exactly what setting changed, we could save and restore it.

Specifically in NVDAObjects.window.winword.WordDocumentTextInfo.find

Hello!

I also reproduce on Word 2013. Remember that Control+PageDown, after a Word find command, is to find next ocurrence, and Control+PageUp to find prior ocurrences.

@surfer0627, @ruifontes are you still having this issue in MS Office 2016, 2019 or 365? Support for Office 2013 has completely ended in April 2023. So if you are not having this issue in newer MS Office versions, I vote for closing this issue.
