Moving the insertion point

To move the insertion point:
  • Use your mouse to move your insertion point anywhere within the file. Move your mouse until the I-beam or cross is where you want your insertion point, then click. Remember that you can scroll through a long file and click.

  • Use your keyboard's arrow keys to move your insertion point up, down, left, or right. These movements will move your insertion point one space or line at a time. This method is especially useful if you only need to move a few spaces or lines back in a file to make a correction.

  • Hold the Ctrl key and press the up or down arrow keys to jump up or down a paragraph at a time.

  • Press Pg Dwn to jump down the document one page at a time.
