If you may be a fan of keyboard shortcuts and wonder what Word's new UI means that for them, or once you never know what a keyboard shortcut is, or for anybody who is just fed up with taking your hands off of your keyboard to use your mouse in Word,
Office 2010 Pro, I extremely suggest checking out Jensen Harris's Stroking the Keys in Workplace 12 & Odds, Ends,
Office Home And Business 2010 Key, Shortcuts, and Accelerators post. Keyboard shortcuts: individual keystrokes (or combination of keys pressed simultaneously) used to execute commands. All of the keyboard shortcuts from previous versions of Word continue to work exactly the same way in Word 2007. KeyTips: a feature new to Phrase 2007 that allows for easier keyboard navigation of Word's UI Press the ALT key in Word 2007 to display a little piece of UI with a letter that appears over each tab of the Ribbon and all commands on the Quick Access Toolbar.
Pressing the respective key on the keyboard activates the command. For example, pressing the ALT key and then "1" will save your document,
Office 2010 Professional Plus, or pressing the ALT key and then "N" will switch the ribbon tab to the Insert Ribbon. Once you press a key associated with one of the Ribbon tabs (for example,
Windows 7 Professional Product Key, "N" for the Insert tab) you will have access to all the KeyTips associated with commands on that Ribbon.
Now, hitting the "B" key, for example, will allow you to insert a Page Break into your document without leaving the keyboard. Nice.
