Arrow keys should follow document text when showing side-by-side

P

When I maximize MS Word it shows pages in left-to-right, top-to-bottom order.
Using the arrow keys to navigate, or shift+arrow to select text follows
moves the cursor according to the visual layout of pages, so it moves
downward from page 1 to 3, for example, skipping over page 2 which is
positioned beside page 1. This makes it hard to navigate and select text
("non-intuitive" user interface) when using this mode. It would be nice if
the arrow keys would always follow the order of the text in the document, so
I could use this layout and still use arrow keys to move the cursor and
select text.

Thanks!
