Send this bug report to Microsoft because they don't exist in any Microsoft products on the Mac that I'm aware of.

  • Scrolling down a pdf with the down arrow key ...

    Hello,
    I have a 20 page newsletter pdf with about 12 articles. At the top of the first page there's our text logo, and just below it is a table of contents compiled using table of contents styles (btw this pdf was compiled in Indesign 5.5) and just below that is the first article, then below that, the second.. and so on. At the bottom of each page there's a "return to the table of contents" button that shoots the reader back up to the TOC on the first page when clicked, in addition to a page number. There is also a header with the name of the publication and issue number..
    the problem I'm having is, when scrolling through the first article on the first page with the down arrow key, once I get to the bottom of the first page, the cursor then shoots back up to the table of contents. WHat I would like it to do is just scroll down to the next page. Once I get to the bottom of the first page the second time, the cursor jumps down to the bottom of the second page, straight to the page number, a few more taps of the down arrow key takes the cursor up to the header on page 2
    I'd like the down arrow scrolling to just go through the articles and skip the page numbers and other header/footer items. Any thoughts? Should I take my question to the InDesign forums? Thanks in advanced

    That behavior is controlled when Scrolling is selected from the Page Display Toolbar.
    You might want it defined in the Document Properties > Initial View, but I am not certain if it is a choice. Experiment with the options.
    I am not familair with Javascript in pdf, but that might set the control.

  • ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard with TrackPoint: Suggestion: Fn+Arrow keys as Page Up/Down/Home/End

    As it is now, Fn + up/down/left/right do not send any keys to the OS. Would it be possible to update the keyboard firmware to send the following:
    Fn-Up: Page up
    Fn-Down: Page down
    Fn-Left: Home
    Fn-Right: End
    I think this is common in laptop keyboards, i know my macbook air does this, and my logitech K760 does it as well. It is a lot more convenient than accessing the home/end keys on top of the keyboard (the page up/down placement is easily accessible already).
    If it is not possible in the current version, at least consider it for the next revision - i would buy a new keyboard for it :-)

    Yes, i realize it could be confusing for some to have two ways of accessing the same keys.
    The issue i have with the thinkpad layout is that the keys are split apart - i like having page up/down and home/end clustered together for navigating - with the thinkpad layout, half the keys are in the lower half of the keyboard, and the other half in the top.
    Also, since arrow keys are also often used for navigating, it makes sense to me to keep them together - for example, "go to the end of the line and select the last word" can be accomplished without moving the right hand from the arrow keys, and the left hand using Shift/Fn/Control

  • Where are Home, End, Page Up, Page Down on MBP keyboard?

    I just bought a MBP-15 after spending my entire computer life with Windows.  I have a fairly sophisticated spreadsheet that I created in Excel that I now want to use in Numbers.  But I'm hung up on the simplest thing - Home & End.  I've read other postings and guides related to the keyboard, but everyone else seems to indicate that there are already Home & End keys (and Page Up/Page Down keys) on the keyboard.  I have none - at least none that I can find.  I just have the standard MBP keyboard, including the F1-F12 function keys (plus fn, option, control, command, & arrows).  All of the key remapping posts talk about their use in text like a Safari e-mail.  For spreadsheets, Windows lets me take a formula in 1 cell, ctrl-c to copy it, then shift-end-down and ctrl-v to paste that new formula to the end of the existing column.  How is this done in the Mac world?  Very frustrating so far.  If it matters, I'm using Numbers '09 with Lion.  Any and all help appreciated.

    Home: fn-left arrow
    End: fn-right arrow
    Page Up: fn-up arrow
    Page down: fn-down arrow
    Actions in Numbers may not match those in Excel.
    "For spreadsheets, Windows lets me take a formula in 1 cell, ctrl-c to copy it, then shift-end-down and ctrl-v to paste that new formula to the end of the existing column."
    (Enter and confirm the formula in the initial cell if it's not already there.)
    Select the initial cell.
    Scroll to the bottom row using the thumb on the vertical scroll bar.
    Shift-click on the bottom cell to select it and all cells between it and the initial cell.
    Go Insert > Fill> Fill Down.
    OR
    Select the initial cell (containing the formula)
    Copy (command-C)
    Scroll to the last cell as above.
    Shift-click on the last cell.
    Paste (command-V)
    Numbers design model favors documents containing several small single purpose tables, not large ones. The maximum size of an individual table is 255 columns by 65355 rows. In practical terms, then limits are much smaller in terms of deteriorating performance speed.

  • Mail Version 2.1.3 (753.1/753) - home / end / page up / page down broken

    Hi Gang,
    Since upgrading to 10.4.11, Mail Version 2.1.3 is no longer responding to home, end, page up and page down keys. It's very annoying to have to use the mouse to page down, shift-select, and delete to remove un-wanted text from messages.
    Have others experienced this, and found a fix?
    Derek

    In every version of Mac OS X I've used, since 10.2, the Home and End keys have never done anything in Mail, and nobody else I know has ever reported them working for anything, either. So I think you may be mistaking having used that key in Mail. .
    However, Page Up and Page Down do work, as I use them every day. Are you saying that those two keys do nothing at all, or just not what you expect? And how do you have your Mail window setup (single pane, with a list of messages to scroll through and double-click to select, or with two panes--the message list on top and the selected message appearing below it)? That would also make a difference as to when Page Up/Page Down work.
    Try both views, and if Page Up/Page Don't work in either, post back with more details.

  • Page up and down in a mailbox, the Clear key and Print Screen

    I have an Apple Pro keyboard ( the one with a numeric keypad on the right side) for an iMac and a wireless mouse. Using the keyboard is VERY confusing. There are many documents and lots of pages on the different key combinations to use for different functions but I could not find one clear document that explains what certain keys do and/or show how to accomplish certain functions...  I am a a very frustrated new Apple (formerly Windows) user astonished that I company that is supposedly delivering user friendly, easy to use products provides a keyboard that one cannot figure out.
    1. Page Up and Down in Mail
    I have some imported mailboxes with a few hundred Emails which I have to mark "read". I could use the Page Down functionality to quickly highlight all messages in a mailbox but could not locate anything that actually works. Apple's document at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5636?viewlocale=en_US indicates that pressing 9 (with Num Lock off) provides Page Down. Num Lock appears to be the Clear key. When I tried to press Clear it deleted messages and no combination worked with 9 ...
    I tried all other suggestions from other discussions but nothing worked.
    2. The Clear key
    I'd appreciate an explanation of what this key is really supposed to do in different applications.
    3. Print Screen
    Apple's documentation tells me that on my specific keyboard I should use F14 to accomplish this. This doesn't work. It appears that one has to press 3 keys (shift-command-3) to accomplish this. What happened to the one key Prt-Scr key? Is there a key (or can one assign this function to an unused key) to make life a little less "sophisticated"?  Is there a way to know which keys are not assigned to any function?
    A pointer to an up-to-date document (which provides info that actually works) would be greatly appreciated.

  • MY page up and down key does not what its suppose to do but now instead it goes forward or back a web page

    Seems like since I installed the new Firefox my Page up and down key has stopped making my web pages go down or up but instead the page up key makes the web page go forward in history and the page down key makes it go back a webpage.

    " Is there anyway the apple or my service provider can help me with this? "
    No.
    "What is the point of the app if it only works when the phone is on? "
    The pont is to assist with locating a lost iphone.
    "Then it is only usefull within those first couple of days."
    Correct.  How would any device be tracked if it had no power?
    Very sorry for your situation, but there is nothing to do.
    Report it to the police and change your passwords.

  • Page Up and Down keys won't work - have tried everything

    My Page Up and Down keys won't work. I've tried hitting F7, the Fn key, checked that the "Always use cursor keys to navigate" box is not selected in the Advanced Options tab and made sure that the "Use autoscrolling" tab is selected. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox, tried hitting buttons F1 through to F12 and then checked that accessibility.warn_on_browsewithcaret is set to 'true'.
    It also won't work in Internet Explorer - I have no idea what else to try. My Up/Down arrows are working, just not the Page Up/Page Down buttons. Please help, this is driving me nuts. It's only just started happening; I've never had a problem with it before!

    What is the value of the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.browsewithcaret accessibility.browsewithcaret] on the about:config page?
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Why does Firefox open another Start Page tab everytime I hit the home key (which take me to my homepage on the current tab)?

    When I hit the home key Firefox takes me back to my homepage (AOL) but also opens up a new Mozilla Firefox Start Page tab. I end up with a whole bunch of unwanted tabs.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == always

    Hello Ginna.
    Please check the following:
    Click on '''Tools> Options'''.
    Then click on '''General'''.
    Now, it should say: '''http://aol.com/''' (or similar), but please check if it has anything after that. For example, if there is a '''|''' after it, that tells FF to open up 2 pages when you hit the home button: AOL and the other page, which in this case is a blank page.
    If you see a '''|''' in there, go ahead and adjust it or remove it, if you'd like. If not, please report back here and let me know!

  • How can you insert foreign letters into pages in Maverick? The old option of holding down the key has disappeared.

    After downloading Mavericks on the MacBook Air, the ability to hold down a key and insert a foreign language symbol or letter disappeared. How can foreign language alphabet symbols/letters be inserted into Pages?

    Are you still using the US keyboard layout?
    Pending a solution to restore the Character Picker, you can use the traditional option key shortcuts for many characters, e.g. option + e, then e produces é.
    Plus you can use Edit > Special Characters to bring up the Character Viewer.

  • Home, End, Page Up, Page Down amd Help.  Are these buttons decoration only?

    I can't seem to use the Home, End, Page Up, Page Down buttons on my brand new Apple BT Keyboard. Nothing happend when I press them. Has anyone else had similar problems?

  • How can I block page up/ page down keys evetn to the JScrollPane.

    Hi,
    How can I block page up/ page down keys to JScrollPane. I don't want the content to scroll if user presses page up/ page down key.
    Thanks in advance.

    Look in the class BasicLookAndFeel. There is a definition for the UIDefaults entry "ScrollBar.focusInputMap". It is initialized with a set of keystroke definition for the input map. You can modify this definition and add a new map to the defaults map or you can create and add the map to instances of JScrollPane.

  • Why do my page up/page down keys stop working randomly in Firefox 4.

    One minute they're working, the next minute they are not, and I have to close and restart Firefox to get them working again. These keys work fine in other browsers. Any ideas?

    You may have inadvertently turned on the Caret browsing mode. Hit '''F7''' and see if the up / down arrow keys work.

  • Premiere keyboard shortcuts dont work (page up/ page down ) and others

    I use the shortcuts for premiere alot but the keyboard shortcuts are no longer working
    page up / page down
    ctrl + k    = cut function
    home
    end
    not working
    but the play rewind and pause j,k, l are working
    i tried changing the shortcut to something else and then back but that didnt work eithe

    With at least Page Up/Page Down and Ctrl+K, they are dependent on having target tracks active. Click the track selectors in the header area (far left side of the timeline panel) to activate one or more tracks. Now, those shortcut keys should be effective.
