Special Keys on your Keyboard

$Account.OrganizationName
Greetings!
Special Keys on your Keyboard
Save time!

There are many special keys on your keyboard you might not be familiar with. Let me introduce you to the Home and End keys. If you are using a standard desktop keyboard, they are located on the right side in a "cluster" of six keys.

Let me show you how to use these keys. Just for fun, type a line of text. Your cursor should be at the right end of the text. Press the "Home" key. Your cursor will move to the beginning of the line. Now press the "End" key. The cursor moves to the end of the line. And if this isn't enough, when you are working on a long document and you want to go to the beginning of the document (picture a 500- page document here, just for emphasis), hold down the CTRL key (on the bottom row of your keyboard) and press "Home." This will take you to the beginning of your document. Now hold down CTRL and press the "End" key. It takes you to the end of the document. Now that's a time saver!

About Me

My photo
I love teaching senior citizens to use computers. I'm a senior myself, so I'm working with my peers. When I work with you in your home on your computer, I don't sit in front of your computer and TELL you want to do. You sit in front of your computer while I TEACH you what to do. I also write step-by-step instructions for you to follow when I'm not there.
