MS Office Shortcodes

[Deleted User]

How do I access the shortcodes in MS Word and Excel?

I know the common ones like ctrl-b, ctrl-f, etc. but how do I use the others?

For example, if I click on "Change Styles" I get a drop down with "Fonts" among the options, and the F is inderlined. How would I access the Fonts option using the F key when ctrl-f is already used for "Find"?

Cheers.

Try using alt-f I haven't got access to office at the mo to check , but standard codes for Windows eg alt-v for view alt-t for tools (on menu bars)

In MS Word, Alt-f gives me "file", ctrl-alt-f gives me "footnote".

(P.S. There was nothing special about "f" in particular, it was just an example for an enquiry about shortcodes in general.)

The short codes as you said alt-f is file, so you need to use a two key press I would guess i.e. alt-(key for change styles) then press f when the drop-down pops-up . There are so many drop-downs now that putting a unique letter for each sub-option is not feasible.
