Appendix D. Keytips and Accelerator keys

The keyboard is probably the quickest way to perform an action in just about any application. This is mainly because you do not need to take your hands away from the keyboard to reach for the mouse in order to actually execute a command — you just keep on typing and never lose the positioning of your fingers.

This appendix provides a list of common keytips and accelerator key combinations that you can use to open some common dialog boxes, such as the Format Cells dialog box in Excel or the Font dialog box in Word.
