When you use Word 2010, you can edit any part of your document. But you need to know how to move Word's insertion pointer to the exact spot you want. The easiest way to put the insertion pointer exactly where you want it is to point the mouse at that spot in your text and then click the mouse button. Point and click to move the insertion pointer. Simple.
For short hops, nothing beats using the keyboard’s arrow keys to quickly move the insertion pointer around a document. If you press and hold the Ctrl (Control) key and then press an arrow key, you enter Jump mode. The invigorated insertion pointer leaps desperately in all four directions.
| Press This Key or Combination | To Move the Insertion Pointer |
|---|---|
| up arrow | Up to the preceding line of text |
| down arrow | Down to the next line of text |
| right arrow (→) | Right to the next character |
| left arrow (<--) | Left to the preceding character |
| Ctrl+up arrow | Up to the start of the previous paragraph |
| Ctrl+down arrow | Down to the start of the next paragraph |
| Ctrl+→ | Right to the start (first letter) of the next word |
| Ctrl+<-- | Left to the start (first letter) of the previous word |
You can use either set of arrow keys on the computer keyboard, but when using the numeric keypad, ensure that the Num Lock light is off by pressing the Num Lock key. If you don’t, you see numbers in your text, rather than the insertion pointer dancing all over.
The insertion pointer also bows to pressure from those cursor keys without arrows on them. The first couple consists of End and Home, which move the insertion pointer to the start or end of something, depending on how End and Home are used.
| Press This Key or Combination | To Whisk the Insertion Pointer |
|---|---|
| End | To the end of a line of text |
| Home | To the start of a line of text |
| Ctrl+End | To the end of the document |
| Ctrl+Home | To the tippy-top of the document |
The remaining cursor keys are the Page Up or PgUp key and the Page Down or PgDn key. As you'd guess, using these keys doesn't move up or down a page in your document. Nope. Instead, they slide through your document one screen at a time.
| Press This Key or Combination | To Whisk the Insertion Pointer |
|---|---|
| PgUp | Up one screen or to the tippy-top of your document, if you happen to be near it |
| PgDn | Down one screen or to the end of the document, if you happen to be near it |
| Ctrl+Alt+PgUp | To the top of the current screen |
| Ctrl+Alt+PgDn | To the bottom of the current screen |
The key combinations to move to the top or bottom of the current screen are Ctrl+Alt+PgUp and Ctrl+Alt+PgDn. That’s Ctrl+Alt, not just the Ctrl key. And yes, few people use those commands.
