Rich – I agree that keyboard shortcuts do save a ton of time. I especially use your tips for selecting an entire table area – a trick you showed me a long time ago!

Some of my favorite keyboard shortcuts involve copying and pasting data:

  • Ctrl-C – Copy selected cell(s)
  • Ctrl-X – Cut selected cell(s)
  • Ctrl-V – Paste cell(s)
  • Ctrl-Shift-V – Paste without formatting

Some of my  must know shortcuts include:

  • Ctrl-Z – Undo last action
  • Ctrl-Y – Redo
  • Ctrl-B – to Bold
  • Ctrl-I – to Italicize

Finally, while not strictly a keyboard shortcut, I use a double-click on ribbon menu tabs to toggle the ribbon menu display to free up more work area.
