Learn the New Office 2007 Keyboard Shortcuts
Upgrading from Office 2003 to Office 2007? You'll have to adjust to the new ribbon interface, a new file format, and the fact that some trusty old keyboard shortcuts don't work the same as they used to. Fear not; I've got the skinny on how they've changed right here:
- Ctrl+Shift+F Used to select the Font list on the formatting toolbar. Now it open the Font dialog box.
- Ctrl+Shift+G Used to select the Word Count Statistics list. Now it opens the Word Count dialog box.
- Ctrl+Shift+P Used to select the Font Size list for the Formatting toolbar. Now it opens the Font dialog box.
- Ctrl+Shift+S Used to select the Style list on the Formatting toolbar. Now it displays the Apply Styles task pane.
- Alt+N Used to open the Create AutoText dialog box. Now it switches to the ribbon's Insert tab.
- Alt+R Used to switch to the Reading Layout. Now it switches to the ribbon's Review tab.
