And that's not's all, a "final" comment on shortcuts

What else might I know about shortcuts you ask...well "Page 4" as has been said before. Thanks Paul.

Have you ever noticed (particularly in Office applications version 2003 and earlier) there is an underlined letter in the Menu items eg File, Edit, etc.? Ever just wonder WHY?? Just because??

If you like using the keyboard, pressing the Alt key "activates" the keyboard menu commands, ie, the underlined letters. In other words, Alt>F (press Alt then press F) is the same as clicking "File" in the menu. Notice menus and submenus also have items with an underlined letter. Pressing the letter (if you have already pressed Alt) is like clicking on the item using your mouse. Thus in an earlier blog post I mentioned Ctrl+P (Ctrl and P keys pressed together), to print, could also be accomplished by Alt>F>P. Now you see that all Menu items have some keyboard shortcut!!

In Office 2007, pressing Alt causes a shortcut key to "highlight" over the Tabs, eg an H appears on the Home Tab after pressing Alt; pressing H causes the shortcut key or keys for the ribbon items to highlight eg an AR apprears on the align right button in Word 2007. Thus Alt>H>AR would align right a paragrah in Word 2007.

Thus, there are many options of getting things done without grabbing the mouse and having to click somewhere. It might behoove you to get to know a few of the keyboard shortcuts for things you tend to do repetitively! It's all about being efficient in gett'n er done! Do the best you can...

Stay tuned...
