A great feature as far as it goes.
I regularly display documents with the zoom settings ranging from 75% to 180%.
In such cases, the display on the screen can be less than one page.
When I use Ctrl + Page Up / Page Down, the screen changes to Top of Page (or Bottom of Page) regardless of where I am on the screen Somewhat annoying when needing to always readjust the page/screen position.
For years, WordPerfect had features which allowed users to page through a document; and another which moved the cursor to the top of the screen.
Might I humble suggest that is the people at Corel can do this, ...
Control Page Up / Page Down
Control Page Up / Page Down
Life's too short to take it seriously
I've returned to this again because the suggestions offered before do not achieve what I want.
I'll try to explain more fully.
I'm editing a document containing many pages. I work through each line and make corrections until I reach the bottom of the SCREEN. To continue, I press Page Down.
The display changes as I expect. However, the cursor remains at the bottom of the newly displayed screen. I have looked, but can find no function that will move the cursor to the first word at the top of the screen.
Of course I can use the UP arrow, but that is less than satisfactory, because getting the cursor to stop exactly where I want it can be trial and error.
I came to Atlantis from WordPerfect where the following happened:
1. Page Down (and Page Up) work as in Atlantis, with the cursor at the bottom of the screen.
2. From this cursor position pressing Page Up leaves the screen content as is, but places the cursor at the beginning of the first word at the top of the screen.
3. The reverse applies to Page Up.
I had hoped that the "Select Browse Object" would include options to move to the top or bottom of the screen, but no such luck.
Comments of a workable solution I am missing?

That doesn't work. Well, it does exactly what you say, but that's unsatisfactory.
Have you ever needed to edit/revise, for example, a long technical paper or a novel? If you have you'll be aware that such revision works better if you can view in context what you are editing.
OK, seems to be something unlikely to be available in Atlantis.
Pity, because I really prefer Atlantis over and above Word, Open Office, and WordPerfect. Unfortunately the thought of struggling through 300-500 pages with Atlantis is making me think very seriously about reviving a recent version of WordPerfect.
Thanks for trying

How about using the mouse?
Shift+Wheel scroll down will scroll the document window one page down.
You can also hold the mouse wheel down and scroll down the document window by moving the mouse down.
In both cases, the blinking cursor will remain in place.
If you hold the mouse wheel down and move the mouse, the scrolling can be adjusted very finely and very quickly.
HTH.

Sentosa, there are plenty of things which are not "beyond the capability of the developers" but they still will never be implemented in Atlantis. Sorry, but it is irrelevant how the Page Up/Down keys work in WordPerfect. We are more concerned with compatibility with MS Word which is far more popular than WordPerfect, and whose user base is much larger. Sorry, but there are more reasons to leave the current behavior in Atlantis as is than to change it.
If you want to view the "current text" "in context", you do not necessarily need to use the Page Down/Up keys. Please enable the "Anticipatory scrolling" option on the "Edit" tab of the "Tools | Options..." dialog of Atlantis. When this option is on, the Down and Up cursor keys do extra scrolling in the corresponding direction. When you reach the page bottom, just press the Down cursor key. You would always view in context what you are editing.
