         ---------------------------------------------
         KP1               KP4 or GOLD-KP4  (WPS Word)

  Steps:

     1.  If necessary, set the direction to move in---forward or reverse.

     2.  Use the MOVE BY WORD command (see key list above).

  Usage notes:

  o  MOVE BY WORD always moves to the start of a word---in forward
     direction, to the start of the next word, if any; in reverse direction,
     to the start of the current or previous word, if any.

  o  The start of a word is the first non-white space character. A series of
     tabs, or tabs and spaces, is not treated as separate words.

  o  For continuous movement, you can hold down or repeat a key defined as
     MOVE BY WORD, until you reach the bottom or top of the buffer.
