    in this scenario get the word document to fore ground and then used on screen key board
    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("osk.exe");and click page up and down buttons using mouse input
    since for the mouse click need screen coordinates for the page up and down button.

    ( i tried to detect on screen key board using UI automation. but it did not detect keys of the screen.
    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11077738/windows-sdk-inspect-tool-what-are-the-reasons-on-screen-keyboard-does-not-disp couldn’t find solution for this problem.so because of that i use this move click method to click the button. )
