Hi Donna! and others! Like someone has suggested I've got a keyboard commander set for this function! To go from the bottom or top to the other end, whilst staying in the same column I use right option and either 1 [to top] 2 [for bottom] You find the commands in the navigation part of the list of commands! I set this up because you do not get that [bonk ] sound when you use the option up and down arrows! Anyway something to consider! Or one of the other commanders! hth Colin
