I just got a friend to test this for me because I don't have access to
an extended keyboard any more.  I used to use MS-Word 4 a heck of a
lot *with* an extended keyboard, and I don't remember it working the
way you describe (and according to my friend's test, my recollection
of how it works is correct).

In the Mac version of Word, the PageUp and PageDown keys move the
insertion point and the window by one screen-full of data.  Clicking
in the scroll bar moves the window ahead/back but the insertion point
stays put.  I've never used FullWrite so I can't vouch for what it
does.
