Home on the Screen

by Kendall Callas

The Home key offers several powerful ways to move around within a WordPerfect document. For example, press the Home key twice, then the down arrow to move the cursor to the bottom of your document. Here's a summary:

Press: To move to:
Home, then Up/Down/Left/Right arrow the edge of the screen in the
direction of the arrow
Home, Home , then Up/Down/Left/Right arrow the edge of the document in the
direction of the arrow
Ctrl+Home ("Go to") the top of the page number you enter
Ctrl+Home, then Up/Down arrow the top/bottom of the current page
Ctrl+Home, then Left/Right arrow the next column to the left/right
(within the columns feature)
Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+Home ("Go back") the previous cursor position
(prior to the last action or major movement)

(These keystrokes work in all versions of WordPerfect for DOS since 4.2.)
