Its probably because when you start moving across the pages of the
Switch, the cursor should be *inside* the current page in the Switch.

Look in the menu Insert->Fold->Switch->Switch to preview/next, the
related keyboard shortcuts are written in the menu, and they are
greyed if they are not currently active : thus by moving the cursor
inside the current page of the switch, you should be able to turn
the menu keyboard shortcuts to a non-greyed state.

The only available alternative I know is writing the beginning
of your page, then Copy & pasting it to a new page in the Switch,
adding the gradual change you want (e.g. : the values of some
parameters appear in the cells of a table), then Copying & pasting
this modified page in another new page, etc.
