Keyboard Help For Non-Techies

Posted by accountingweb on Aug 17 1999 169 printer friendly

Do you ever wonder what the F4 key does on your keyboard? Or what that symbol is between the Ctrl and Alt key on your keyboard? Or what ALL THOSE KEYS that you never use on your keyboard actually do?

For those of us who don't spend our day worrying about this sort of stuff, but, on sleepless nights wonder just what these keyboard shortcuts are that everyone talks about, this site is for you.

Brought to you from none other than Microsoft itself, there is a site on the Web that provides Keyboard Shortcuts For Windows.

It's a little technical, and you may not ever need to perform some of the functions, much less know the shortcut to do them, but it might just let you relax after spending hours worrying about what happens when you hit WINDOWS +D (minimizes all open windows and returns you to the desktop.)

Happy shortcutting!

Voice of the Editor

Even though any accounting auditor would tell you it seems like there are an awful lot of tax accountants out there, surely one-third of the country isn't made up of tax preparers, so it's rather startling news to learn that one-third of Americans like to do their taxes. Who knew?
