Display:
Home=apple key+left arrow

End=apple key+right arrow

Option+left or right arrow will move you one word either direction

Apple key+up or down arrow will take you to to the top/bottom of the doc or page

Check out the "keyboard shortcuts" in the 'help menu', they're incredibly helpful....

thanks for the tip.  I think I have worked out which ones are the option and apple keys!

Ahh, on yours the command key (with the funny clover) is the apple key and the alt key is the option key.

If you go to the apple icon on the upper right of your screen and click on it, then click on 'System Preferences', wait till a window opens, then click on 'international', then click 'input menu' and then click on the 'keyboard viewer' box you can enable the keyboard viewer icon on the top right of your menu (should be a little UK flag icon). Once you do this you can click on the flag and open the keyboard viewer which allows you to see in real time what the combination of keys that you push will type. All those crazy symbols that you don't need until you need them and required you to memorize an ascii code in Windows.

If you want to change the keyboard layout to another language you can do this also in the international section of system preferences. Once enabled you can use the native Mac spell checker in other languages. To open the spell check window hit 'cmd+shift+semicolon', and to change the language click on the menu there....
