Home and End key? Shorcut?

Try Command-down arrow and Command-up arrow.

That doesn't work on my new MacBook. That's what I was used to with my previous MacBook. fn-left or fn-right just go up or down one line. fn-up or fn-down seem to go up or down about five lines but not a whole page though.

That is extremely frustrating. That would almost drive me more crazy than no firewire. I use the end key to get to the footers of webpages very often...

Once again logic based on previous versions fails us... That's getting problematic.

I'm also brand new to Macs, and lack of PgUp/PgDn/Home/End has been one of my major frustrations. But I'm learning new tricks every day! I find that not all keyboard shortcuts work the same way in all applications. E.g. Fcn-L/R arrow works in some, but not others. In Word, I just now(!) learned (learning by playing around) that Home is Fcn-Opt-UpArrow (End the same with - of course - the DownArrow), Fcn-Up/Fcn-Down is the equivalent to PgUp/PgDown. But these keys and key combos work somewhat differently in other applications. At first I was frustrated by not being able to do some things the way I'm used to, but gradually as I'm actually using the machine to do Real Work and play around a bit, I'm learning that for most things (still struggling with some other)there are slightly different but just at good ways to get the same things done.

In previous version it's always been fn-right arrow for end and fn-left arrow for home.

fn up/down arrow are page up and page down respectively

I agree. I use the "home" and "end" keys all the time. Not so much the "page up/down" though...

Uh.....as I said:

Try Command-down arrow and Command-up arrow.

Just figured out the **** thing. it's the FN key

Fn+left arrowy key for home and Fn+right arrow key for end.

This is my first mac and this was really frustrating

If you us fnoptioneither left (for home) or right (for end) arrow key it will take you to the very start or end of a Microsoft Word document in Word:Mac 2008.
