Thanks smoothvibes.

I always find the mouse very inconvenient because my hand has to move from KB to Mouse and back. This slows me down. Hence I am a big KB shortcuts fan.

This is one of the reasons why I HATE MS 2007 suite because they have rearranged or got rid of many KB shortcuts.

thanks thanks..

just4kix as you are saying about MS Office 2007 even i m also not comfortable with that one.. its good for new learners but people who already worked on office 2003 find it difficult to work on 2007 coz we infact dont remeber shortcuts like that... its all in finger tips which work automatically...

if you need i can provide you all shortcuts and formulae of 2003 and have a copy of 2003 which you can load on your system.. its with key...

please let me know if you need i can send you one...

here are few more shortcuts which i use daily and it is really time saving thing... if you practice...

Microsoft natural keyboard shortcuts
• Windows Logo (Display or hide the Start menu)
• Windows Logo+BREAK (Display the System Properties dialog box)
• Windows Logo+D (Display the desktop)
• Windows Logo+M (Minimize all of the windows)
• Windows Logo+SHIFT+M (Restore the minimized windows)
• Windows Logo+E (Open My Computer)
• Windows Logo+F (Search for a file or a folder)
• CTRL+Windows Logo+F (Search for computers)
• Windows Logo+F1 (Display Windows Help)
• Windows Logo+ L (Lock the keyboard)

Thanks Smooth vibes, The quoted ones are new for me, happy to learn these.

Taking abt the below:

• Windows Logo+D (Display the desktop)
• Windows Logo+M (Minimize all of the windows)
• Windows Logo+SHIFT+M (Restore the minimized windows)

You Can use "Windows Logo+D" for all the three actions i.e display destop, minimize all the windows and restoring the minimized windows

Hope I am adding something
