Using keyboard arrow keys (up & down) in InDesign

[ChrisG66]

Hello,

Is there a way to go from page to page (scrolling pages) using the up and down arrow keys on the key board? Currently I'm using my arrow selection tool and clicking and holding the grey bar on the far right.

Thank you for your time.

Yes, look in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts. It's in the Layout Menu group.

By default, in Normal or Preview mode, Option/Alt + Page Down moves forward a spread at a time (with Page Up it moves backward a spread at a time). (The defaults in Presentation mode are different.)

Shift + Page Up and Page Down moves a page at a time.

On a Mac laptop with no Page Up or Page Down keys: Press "Fn" + Option + Down arrow/Up arrow to move up and down spread by spread. "Fn" + Shift + Down arrow/Up arrow does it page by page.

Thank you Steve for the info. I greatly appreciate it. It's strange because I was only able to move spread to spread by only using "Fn + Page Up or Page Down keys. But you steered me in the right direction and It is greatly appreciated. Thanks again and have a great day.
