trying to figure out how to use page down withvoiceover question for a macbook

,sorry if the subject is not clear. My daufgter is using a Macbook Pro. How do you page down in a document using Voiceover when there is no page down key?
Hold down the function key (FN) and press the down arrow. Using the FN key you get PageUp with the FN key and up-arrow. Home and End keys use the FN key with the left and right arrows respectively.
If I'm correct, VO focus doesn't move with the page up/page down commands (maybe home/end too - I always just use Command + left / right to move to the beginning or end of a line). I also don't think the cursor moves with them, though I'd have to double-check (I'm on a PC right now). Can I ask if there's a specific program you're asking about, and/or a specific use of the page down key? There may be a work-around.

VO Seems To Lose Focus
Hi everyone. VO seems to lose focus when using FN with the arrow keys to navigate with Page up/down etc. Thanks
