<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sorry, last email.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can someone please give me tips on figuring out which keystrokes activate various elements on the Office ribbon? I feel like different things require the Space Bar, the Enter key, or Alt Down Arrow. For example, if I want to turn off all
markup when tracking changes, depending on the computer I’m using, I have to try a range of keys lest I risk being kicked out of the menu and put back in my document without activating the menu element I wanted. I figure there has to be a way of using the
specific keystroke depending on what the control is, but so far, this has eluded me.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for any help!<o:p></o:p></p>
