One of the useful ways to get around within a Microsoft Word document is with Control-arrow. Control-left_arrow and control-right_arrow work the same in OpenOffice, moving around one word at a time. Control-up_arrow and control-down_arrow work confusingly differently. Doing a control up_arrow to move the cursor up a paragraph, as would work in MSWord, has the surprisingly confusing result of taking the current paragraph along for the ride, thereby inadvertently scrambling the layout of the document. Control-shift-up/down and Alt-up/down appear not to do anything at all.
A little experience of using OpenOffice can teach one to avoid using control-up and control-down as a way to try to move quickly around the document, but is there an easy way to move the cursor backwards and fowards a paragraph at a time? (or even a sentence at a time?) My search of the help system did not find one. Rodney Wilson Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
