i can't use dots at the bottom of screens to move screens but can't now

Hi rogermack1960, thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.

I wonder of you are referring to having multiple Home Screens on your iPad as per the following link:

This creates a number of 'dots' at the bottom which you select and change as required.

You can also contact Apple Support as follows:

• Online:--> Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple;
• Contacting a local Apple Store or AASP among the list provided above but also again as follows Apple – Location Selector; or
• Using the "Apple Support" app, available and downloadable from App Store.
