Q. It takes me forever to move my cursor around a Word document. I know Ctrl + Home takes me to the beginning of a document and Ctrl + End takes me to the end. But I suspect there are other shortcuts for moving around a document.
A. Right you are. Here they are:
-
Ctrl + left arrow jumps you a whole word to the left.
-
Ctrl + right arrow jumps you a whole word to the right.
-
Ctrl + up arrow takes you to the start of the paragraph you’re in.
-
Ctrl + down arrow takes you to the start of the next paragraph.
