Keyboard Basics (continued)

Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll up and down on Web pages that are longer than can be viewed on the screen. Use the left and right arrow keys to view Web pages that are wider than the viewing area.

When you scroll using these keys, the page you are viewing moves up, down, or from side to side in small increments. When you use these keys within a text box, they move the cursor within a line one character position at a time.
