The Ups and Downs of Web pages

Greetings!
The Ups and Downs of Web pages
...stop scrolling and start jumping

Do you spend lots of time scrolling up and down on Web pages? You can move quickly from top to bottom with these two shortcuts:

  1. If you are at the bottom of the page and want to jump quickly to the top, hold down the CTRL key (bottom row of keys on your keyboard) and press the Home key (on the group of keys to the right of your main keyboard).
  2. If you are at the top of the page and want to move quickly to the bottom, you start the same, but the shortcut is to hold down the CTRL key and press End (also in that group of keys on the right side of your keyboard).

If you use a laptop/notebook computer, the Home and End keys may be in a different location. Just look around your keyboard and try them out. This shortcut also works in most programs, such as Microsoft Word. Someday, when you decide to write your life story and it's 500 pages long, (just joking) you'll be grateful for those shortcuts.

On a creative note, take the time to write your personal history, sharing all the big and little events that made you who you are. Your family members probably don't know all the things you have done in your life and it's a great way to enhance your relationship. Start writing!

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.
