Try using the keypad + and - keys while editing a multiline text field, or when editing a formula.
In that case they always act like PgUp and PgDn, even with the NumLock on. I agree with Ed that this is very irritating. I asked about changing this behavior a long time ago and was told then that this behavior was desigined to mimic the old WP keystrokes. But I too would really like to see the special handling for + and - removed, and have them just act as text keys.
