I don't know about your copy of Monterey but that setting is in System Preferences > General on mine.

Thanks for the ideas. I should have asked if you can do this while keeping the arrow in the main body of the page. I.e., is there a way to move up a full page w/o clicking in the scroll bar?

Not sure if the arrow keys will work (haven't been able to try on the specific site) but it seems like that method only moves to the next line on some pages such as mail. I'll try it when I can get on the site where I need to try it.

Thanks

Thanks. I never knew what the fn keyboard was for. I little time on Google and I found it and yes, using that key with the arrow key does work.

Thanks to those who have offered help. Much appreciated.

FWIW Fn + the Up or Down arrow keys should work also.

You caught me. I was on Ventura and didn't have time to reboot into Monterey. My bad.

Are you stalking me?

At my age it'll be more and more frequent, especially the blatant errors. My sight and patience are going so I'll need all the backup I can get.

Just a little complement to the great replies you already have: regarding the “click the scroll bar” setting, you can always also get the alternative result by Option-clicking.

The keyboard method works, at least in most applications where there a notion if “page”. In fact, Fn up or Fn down are the ways to make a PageUp or Down key in a mac keyboard.
