Keystroke Shortcuts

Keystroke Shortcuts are so called because they are “shortcuts” – they save you time. Hitting a couple of keys is much more efficient than moving the mouse around.  When I use them during demos, people are always asking:  "How did you do that?"  So here are some of the ones I use most often.

Ctrl-O        Open
Ctrl-S        Save
Ctrl-P        Print

Ctrl-F4      Close document
Alt-F4       Close program

Ctrl-C        Copy selected Text
Ctrl-X        Cut selected text
Ctrl-V        Paste copied or selected text

Ctrl-N        New document (or email)

Ctrl-F        Search (Find)

I also like using the shift key for selecting text especially in Word and Wordperfect.
