Keyboard Shortcuts -- I use them...you should too!

Keyboard Shortcuts
Improve Your Efficiency

PCs are an integral part of our lives. We use them extensively at the office and usually end up logging on in the evening as well, to read email and catch up on the day's news.

Since we spend so much of our time in front of the computer, it makes sense to find ways to improve our efficiency. This is where shortcuts come in. By using combinations of keystrokes, you can quickly access several tools without ever having to use your mouse. Most Windows shortcuts may be used for any Microsoft program (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.) as well as selected products from other manufacturers.

If you would like to incorporate these shortcuts into your repertoire, try keeping a copy of this list at work and at home. Refer to it daily until the keystrokes become second nature. You'll be surprised at how much time you'll save!

I use keyboard short cuts all the time. I love them. However, sometimes when I show someone how to do something, I use a keyboard short cut and I forget to explain. They always ask - how did you do that? I dunno maybe I have been working with computers too long but sometimes I look them dead in the eye and say "It's magic."
