Am I FORCED to use a mouse in Word (and Office) 204?
Question
When I switched back to a Mac early in '06, I was qickly annoyed with my inability to work without the mouse. In the PC world, that wonderful ALT key, when pressed, underscores one letter in each menu name, and when that key is pressed, the menu appears, and so on through every single choice. It's fast. Way fast. I can't seem to do this on my Mac, and I printed 13 pages of built in shortcuts for Word but there is no such list for Excel. I don't want to create custom key strokes, I just want the menus to drop at the touch of a key, not the touch of a mouse. Is this possible? Thanks |

Hi Murray,
If you post over on the Macintosh specific newsgroups, there will be keyboard lovers to help you out. I'm quite sure one person in particular on the Word groups almost never uses his mouse. I do know that if you turn on Universal Access in System Preferences, then you can key-navigate the menus throughout the computer, like the Alt-Letter system in Windows. MacHelp may offer more on that, as it's a system thing. A quick check turned up the Help Topic "Shortcuts for menus". See here for Google/Entourage gateway to newsgroups for MacWord, MacExcel, and other MS programs for the Mac: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups welcome to the Mac!
