I am using Word for Mac and a lot of keyboard shortcuts call for Home and End keys. What are our options? Is there a quick key to go to the top or bottom of a document?
MacBook Pro, OS Mountain Lion
Try some other key combo such as COMMAND-OPTION-UpArrow, etc. Look in Word's own documentation for their keyboard shortcut for movement in a document.
Try FN+COMMAND-⬆ and FN+COMMAND-⬇
You can use Word Help to find Keyboard Shortcuts.
Here's what works on my 15" 2012 Macbook Pro:
End of line = Control + Down Arrow
Start of line = Control + Up Arrow
End of document = fn + Control + Down Arrow
Start of document = fn + Control + Up Arrow
Not surprisingly, Word's documentation was worthless.
As long as I've got you, when I start a new document from My Templates, how can I delete a template I created? Right-click gives me no options, and Delete does nothing.
Thanks for your help!
Which version of Office do you have? Did you look in the Office folder in your Applications folder.
As for keyboard shortcuts select the Help menu in Word, enter "keyboard shortcuts" for the search term. Select the option from the list for the shortcut list. Office Help is far from worthless if you use it.
You are not following the right path. Look again: /Home/Library/Applications Support/Microsoft/Office/. You are starting at /Library from the root folder. You need to start in the /Home folder. If you cannot see the Library folder there, it's invisible. Hold down the OPTION key while selecting the Library entry from the Go menu in the Finder.
Bless you for staying with me. The Library was hidden, and now I have the right path and can see the templates.
But, no, we're not done yet (would you believe I work with software for a living? But it's Microsoft, I'm completely self-taught on Apple by trial and error).
It still will not let me delete one of my own created templates. What's the secret key?
My path is missing the last level. Here's what I see:
OK, went another route and got stuck here:
HardDisk/Applications/Microsoft/Office/Media/Templates
But I only get their built-in templates, not mine.
Try using COMMAND-⬆ and COMMAND-⬇.
There is a great little free application for viewing available keyboard shortcuts:
Kappy: This will get you to the beginning or ending of a line, but not the document. It seems like Home and End would be such basic, necessary keys!
nbar: Cute little program, but doesn't solve the problem. No Home or End equivalent.
Actually, I got the shortcuts from the Office Word Help file.
Locate the Templates folder and delete the template file. Look in /Home/Library/Applications Support/Microsoft/Office/.
Microsoft Office 2011
Word gave me the same path that you did, but as you can see from my previous image, it's different.
Sorry to be such a pain.
You still are not following the correct path:
/Users/your_account/Library/Applications Support/Microsoft/Office/
Where is a Home and End key?
