I know a lot of you have memorized some of the menu key sequences in Office 2003. You use those key sequences to navigate the Office 2003 User Interface. Some of these are ALT, E, C for Copy, ALT, E, P for Paste and etc. Now that you are using a 2007 Microsoft Office System edition, I'm sure that you will miss using those key sequences since the Microsoft Office Fluent UI (which is in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and in some parts of Outlook) doesn't have a menu that is similar to those of the previous version.
However do you know that the Microsoft Office Fluent User Interface still supports many of these of these key sequences? Here are some few examples:
|
Key Sequence |
Action |
|
ALT, E (Edit), C |
Copy |
|
ALT, E (Edit), P |
Paste |
|
ALT, V (View), Z |
Zoom |
|
ALT, T (Tools), O |
Options |
|
ALT, I (Insert), P, F |
Insert Picture from File |
To know if you are typing a Microsoft Office 2003 menu key sequence, you will be presented with a tooltip on the ribbon just as like what is presented below:
Learn New Key Sequences
In the Microsoft Office Fluent UI, it's so easy to learn new key sequences in the new User Interface. This feature is called KeyTips, once you press the ALT key on your keyboard, letters will appear that will help you navigate the ribbon with your keyboard.
