Hi, Ashley,
I too, use WE but do not readily remember specific reading
commands. Instead, I usually simply use the arrow keys and
controlleft/down left/right, which are Windows commands and are
therefore, somewhat universal.
Others may have some more sound advice for Ashley, like something
specific to navigate within WE.
Sorry I am not more helpful, but reverting to basics may save you. .
