You didn't read carefully enough. Your post:

One of those posts says Control, the other Command (although it seems that both combinations work in Excel).

sorry, I meant Row1, Col 1.

My keyboard is 4 years old (PPc) and doesn't have a fn key.

It'll be Command-Home on yours.

Thanks, now I understand.

Pressing the space bar scrolls down on my mac...

That depends on the app. It doesn't work on many apps.

Home = control+fn+left arrow
End = control+fn+right arrow

This worked with my MacBook Air with Office 2011.

re: "Using a laptop or other 'condensed' keyboard? If so, in order to get the left arrow key to work as the Home key you need to use the fn key as well, so the stroke would be: fn+Cmd+Left Arrow or fn+Ctrl+Left Arrow - either will work."


This doesn't seem to work on my MacBook Pro running Lion. Has the shortcut changed?

For all those weary tread travellers out there...

I am pretty sure I tried all the suggestions on this tread and none of them worked. (if my suggestion is there and I missed it I apologise in advance to those who have little better to do than point out other peoples' oversights).

At any rate, I started to experiment and after being brought to a lot of unexpected places I discovered "Alt" combined with "Page Up" (arrow with two perpendicular lines on the stem to the immediate top right of the numbers pad on some keyboards) did the trick.

It really is amazing that something as basic as a "Home" key should be so elusive.
