To move to the next page in Excel using the Page Down key, follow these steps:

  1. Open your Excel document.
  2. Select the cell from where you want to begin the navigation.
  3. Press the Page Down key on your keyboard.
  4. Excel will automatically move to the next page, which will be displayed on your screen.

It's that simple! You can also use the arrow keys or the mouse scroll wheel to navigate through your Excel document. If you're working on a laptop or a keyboard without a dedicated Page Down key, you can use the Fn key and the down arrow key together to achieve the same result.

It's important to note that Excel documents can have multiple sheets, and the Page Down key will only move you to the next sheet within the same document. If you want to navigate between different Excel documents or workbooks, you will need to use a different keyboard shortcut.

There are two ways to move to the next page in Excel using the page down key:

  • With Scroll Lock turned off: Press the Page Down key on your keyboard.
  • With Scroll Lock turned on: Press and hold the Ctrl key, then press the Page Down key.

Note: Scroll Lock is a toggle key, which means that pressing it once turns it on, and pressing it again turns it off. You can tell whether Scroll Lock is turned on by looking at the status bar at the bottom of the Excel window. If "Scroll Lock" is displayed, then Scroll Lock is turned on.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when using the page down key in Excel:

  • The page down key will only move the active cell to the next page. If you want to scroll the entire worksheet, you can use the scroll bar at the bottom of the window.
  • If you are using a keyboard shortcut to move to the next page, you will need to hold down the Ctrl key until the page has finished scrolling.
  • If you are using a mouse, you can click the scroll bar at the bottom of the window to move to the next page. You can also use the scroll wheel on your mouse to scroll through the worksheet.
