Scroll Bars

Scroll - Your screen may have scroll bars  on the bottom and/or right side of the screen.  Scroll Bars will appear whenever all the information on the web page won’t fit on your computer screen.

To see more of the web page (scroll) you can use the scroll bar(s) or the keyboard:

Side Scroll Bar
Bottom Scroll Bar

How to use the Scroll Bar:
A) Move your mouse pointer to the scroll bar
B) HOLD the left button of the mouse down, and
C) DRAG (slide the mouse itself) in the direction you want. 
To move down the web page, you would move the pointer to the scroll bar on the right side of the web page, then drag the mouse towards you (down).  To move up the web page, you will drag the mouse away from you (up). 
Choose the scroll bar on the bottom of the page to move left or right.
You can also click on the small arrows at each end of the scroll bar to move in the direction you want.

How to use the Keyboard to scroll a web page:
There are several sets of keys to the right of the alphabet section of the keyboard. Many of these will assist in the navigation of a web page:
<Home> moves to the top of the web page
<Page Up> moves up 1 viewable page (or to the top of the page)
<Page Down> moves down 1 viewable page (or to the bottom of the page)
Arrow Keys:  the up and down arrow keys move about 10 lines at a time.
The left and right arrow keys work when a scroll bar appears to move in the direction you choose around the page.
