Microsoft Excel Keyboard Shortcuts
Due to the huge amount of work spent in the Office background, working with Microsoft Excel keyboard shortcuts can significantly improve productivity. Have you ever observed experienced PC users? They are not mouse glued! They combine mouse actions with keyboard commands for higher access time and earlier results. Complex tasks require advanced interaction with the computer and that can be done by taking advantage of all the means available including the valuable keyboard shortcuts. Therefore, while Microsoft Office is the most notorious and used application in the field, I took the time to search and harvest some important keyboard shortcuts for the well known applications: Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
