[nabs-l] Word 2007

[Sean Whalen]

Hi,

Just a few things to put your mind at ease about Word '07. First. Yes, cut,
copy and paste commands are still the same, as well as keyboard commands to
bold, underline, center, left align, etc... Also, commands to directly open
dialogue boxes are still the same, e.g. control D to open the font dialogue.

Now, here's the fun part. The alt based keyboard strokes that used to give
you access to the menu bar will still perform the same actions, but they
will not take you through the familiar menus. For example, you can still
press alt T and then W to bring up word count, but alt T alone will not open
a tools menu. This is obviously because there is no tools menu to open. They
left the ability to use the alt based commands in so people who became used
to them can continue to use them, but the menu structure off of which they
were based is no longer there. I guess they are allowing us to wean
ourselves off slowly.

This all also holds true for Excel.

I hope this is helpful. If it isn't clear or if you have any questions, feel
free to shoot me an email.

All the Best,

Sean Whalen
