Using the Ctrl key

Using the Control (Ctrl) Key in conjunction with other editing keys can provide you with some editing shortcuts.

- Use Ctrl in conjunction with the Left or Right Arrow keys to move your cursor one word at a time.

- Use Ctrl in conjunction with the Delete key to delete one word at a time to the right of the cursor position.

- Use Ctrl in conjunction with the Backspace key to delete one word at a time to the left of the cursor position.

- Use Ctrl in conjunction with Page Up or Page Down keys to scroll one page up or one page down at a time.

- Use Ctrl in conjunction with the Enter key to create a new page in the text from where the cursor is positioned. This inserts a page break.
