Q) How do I move around in a Word document?

A) The most common way to move about in your document is to press the arrow keys. These are also called the cursor-control keys because they control the toothpick cursor on-screen. You can use these alone or with other keys on your keyboard to zippity-zap the toothpick cursor all over your document.

If you use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad, make sure that the Num Lock light is off. Do this by pressing the Num Lock key. If you do not do this, you see numbers in your text instead of the cursor dancing all over.
