Start with Word's Help on the topic: Word keyboard shortcuts You can click the button to Show All, then print a hard copy or a PDF if you wish. Most of the keyboard shortcuts used in the Mac version are directly comparable to those used in the Windows version. The major differences are often just a matter of differing keyboard layout. On a Mac the Option key and the Command key are typically the equivalent of Alt & Control, respectively, on a PC.
Depending on which style of Mac keyboard you may also need to use the key labeled fn in order to elicit certain commands. For example, the strokes you asked about are Command+Home & Command+End on a Mac full keyboard, but if you have one of the compact keyboards or are using a Mac laptop there isn't a dedicated key for Home or End. Those commands are shared with the Arrow keys, so you'd need to use fn+Command+Left Arrow/Right Arrow, respectively.
Likewise, Page Up/Down are shared with the Up/Down Arrows. You may also find this page as well as the entire site helpful: Regards, Bob J.
