Moving about the worksheet


There are a number of ways in which you can move around a worksheet:
  • Arrow keys: Pressing an arrow key once moves the cell pointer one position in the worksheet in the direction indicated by the arrow.
  • Page Up/Page Down keys: The Page Up and Page Down keys are used to scroll the worksheet up or down.
  • Home key: The home key moves you to the first cell in the worksheet.
  • End key: The end key used with an arrow key takes you to the final position of the worksheet in the direction of the arrow key chosen.
  • Go to key: Many spreadsheets have a function key reserved as the 'goto key'. The function key 'F5' is defined as the goto key for many spreadsheets. The goto key is pressed followed by the address of the cell you wish to go to.
  • Mouse: The mouse lets you point and click on the cell you wish to select.

Spreadsheets will also make use of scroll bars that enable you to manipulate the worksheet in the direction you wish to move.
