Keyboard Shortcuts for PC and Mac Users
Today's tip is a compilation of web sites which provide keyboard shortcuts for most anything you want to do on a PC or Mac, especially with Windows and Office 2003 for PC users, and Mac OS X and Office 2004 for Mac users. Note that if there is something you want to do using a keystroke and you can't find it here, you can create a macro. See the June 12, 2006 CTOW for information on creating Macros in Word and Excel. One suggestion on how to use this tip is to open Word, and when you find a keyboard shortcut you think you will use, copy it (CTRL+C or Command-C for Macs) and paste it (CTRL+V or Command-C for Macs) into your Word document. Then you can print it and keep it near your workstation.
