Using Excel 2003 Keyboard Accelerators 76

If you are doing a lot of typing, being able to access commands from the keyboard is faster than moving your hand to the mouse. Excel 2007 introduces new keyboard accelerators, which are accessed using the Alt key, and many of the old Alt keyboard shortcuts still work. In addition, all the old Ctrl shortcut keys are still functional. For instance, Ctrl+C still copies a selection, Ctrl+X cuts a selection, and Ctrl+V pastes a selection.

In this chapter, I point out which of the old keyboard shortcuts still work, show you some new shortcuts, and introduce you to the new keyboard accelerators.
