Getting around Your Document

I was working on a document with a student one day when we noticed a change needed to be made at the beginning of the line.  I mentioned it and the student immediately held down the left arrow key to get to the error and fix it. 

I became impatient… using the arrow key takes forever to get where you want to be. It can be a painfully slow process to move through a document a single character at a time.

Depending on your system settings, to speed things up considerably, just hold down the CTRL key and press either the left or right arrow keys. This causes the insertion point to jump from word to word, rather than character to character. The increase in speed is dramatic.
