Microsoft Word 2007 - Moving around within a document

 

The ways to move around within a document are:

  • use the mouse pointer and click
  • use the keyboard
  • use the mouse and click on the scroll bar

Note: You can normally only move around in spaces that you have already created by typing text or spaces.

To move down into new space / a new line use the Enter key on the keyboard.

Hold the shift key and press Enter if you want to move a phrase or word into a new line.

To move to the right from the left hand margin on a new line use the Space Bar or the Tab key on the keyboard.

You can use the mouse to click on any point where text or space has already been created.

The other navigation keys on the keyboard are all found to the right of the alphabet area.


Use the keyboard navigation keys as follows:

 
Left arrow: Move one space to the left every time you press the key.
Right arrow: Move one space to the right every time you press the key.
Up arrow: Move one line up every time you press the key.
Down arrow: Move one line down every time you press the key.
Page Up: Move one page / screen up at a time (this varies)
Page Down: Move one page / screen down at a time (this varies)
Home: Move to the beginning of the line
End: Move to the end of the line
Ctrl-left arrow: Move one word to the left at a time
Ctrl-right arrow: Move one word to the right at a time
Ctrl-Home: Move to the beginning of a document
Ctrl-End: Move to the end of a document
