Technology Tip Number 81
Give me a Shortcut!

If you don't remember it, there was a time when your computer didn't come with a mouse attached.  A time when you could only interact with the machine using the keyboard.  If you're curious, it is possible to use a computer without a mouse.  There is software that can make a computer more accessible to the blind for example.  But there is also a whole list of keyboard shortcuts that you could use to eliminate mouse clicks.

Try these shortcut keys in Microsoft Word when you get a chance:
