Keystroke shortcuts for moving the cell cursor
Excel offers a wide variety of keystrokes for moving the cell cursor to a new
cell. When you use one of these keystrokes, the program automatically
scrolls a new part of the worksheet into view, if this is required to move the
cell pointer. In Table 1-1, I summarize these keystrokes and how far each one
moves the cell pointer from its starting position.
