Moving Quickly Through a Document with Your Keyboard

Some people enjoy using their keyboards to move the mouse cursor from sentence to sentence in an e-mail or from paragraph to paragraph in a different document.

Here's a great tip for you on how you can move your cursor in what may be a better way.

In order to position the cursor exactly where you want it, it is often easier to use the arrow keys on your keyboard, rather than the mouse.

Hold the Ctrl key down on your keyboard and then hit the right arrow key or the left arrow key, the cursor will jump to the next word (or sentence, etc.) instead of the next letter. Each time you hit the arrow key once, with the Ctrl key held down, it will jump to the next space.

Holding the Ctrl key while hitting the up and down arrow keys, will jump your cursor between paragraphs.
