When editing a document or text field in a MacOS X app, have you ever noticed that hitting the "up" arrow on the keyboard eventually takes you to the beginning of the document? e.g. if you're on the third line, it will go directly upwards twice, then the cursor will move to the very left of the first line.
Similarly, pressing the "down" key will move the cursor downwards, and eventually sit right after the last character.
I've found this to be the default behaviour for many MacOS X applications (and it's the default behaviour in Apple's text views), but for some ODD reason, Word 2004 does not behave in the same manner. It simply beeps. Argh… It's the little things that count.
(FYI, hitting command+up or command+down places the cursor in the expected position.)
