Are you quicker with a mouse or the keyboard?

Either way, it pays to know keyboard shortcuts. With habit we get to be faster with it.

The Office 2007 Suite has found a nice way to use keyboard shortcuts minus having to learn/remember them.

Try it out by opening a new office document e.g. Word

• Press the Alt key to see the Key Tip bubbles appear for each tab
  
• Type the key for any tab to switch to that tab. For instance...
  • press N for the Insert tab.
  • the key tip bubbles for all the commands in the tab should be visible (if not type Alt again).
    For instance...
    • pressing P in the Insert tab will open up Pictures.

A few days practice and a few uses later, you may be near to ditching the mouse.
