To move around a form, you would usually use the mouse and click to put the cursor where you want it. You can use the scroll bars at the right and bottom of the screen to view more of the form.
However, you can also move the cursor using the keyboard, and there are times when this can be quicker. The following table shows all the ways you can move the cursor, whether within a particular form (the same record) or to another form (another record).
