There are two alternate settings : Macintosh or Microsoft, depending on
whether you check
Use Microsoft keyboard shortcuts for editing text
in Edit-->Preferences --> General --> General (2nd line)
The differences between them, which do affect all the arrow keys when text
is not selected, are outlined in Help --> Reference Information --> Keyboard
Shortcuts --> Keyboard shortcuts for editing text -->
Keys for Microsoft Office-style text editing
Keys for Macintosh-style text editing
(or just type Keyboard shortcuts into the Assistant's box, and go to the
latter two).
For most of those key combos listed there (modifier keys with arrow keys and
others) they're the same when text is selected, but different when no text
is selected. People who use Office for Windows at work will probably want
the same MS key combos on the mac Office at home, those who are accustomed
to mac shortcuts in other apps will want the Mac shortcuts.
