Microsoft Office “Hot
Key” Combinations
Many features in
Microsoft Office (and other software too)
are available through menus, but are also accessible using keyboard
“shortcuts.”
When Using the
<Alt> or <Control> + <other key > combinations,
it is NOT necessarily to press them exactly simultaneously.
First press the
<Alt> or <Control> key, and
hold it down.
Then, with the
<Alt> or <Control> key pressed,
press the other key, and release them both.
This is similar to
using the <Shift> key.
It may seem as though
you need to “stab” both keys at the exact same time,
But this usually causes
problems if you timing is off by even a micro-second !
So, press the
<Alt> or <Control> and then press the other key.
Hope this helps !
(It seems obvious,
AFTER you know it, right ?)
