Thanks Gracie. I'm guess I'm going to have to make time to set up more options and preferences.

Could you tell me how you "save as" without using the mouse?

Thanks! Toni

Another question - My sweet husband got me a Gateway laptop for my birthday so I can type when away from home and keep up with my work - it comes with Windows XP Professional and I wonder what PRD is - haven't heard of it and am wondering if it's included in my software.

Curious~

Hey, Toni...try the F12 key (control+F12 should "open").

Amy,

PRD is a word expander program--not likely to already be in your laptop. It was the first expander program I ever used. I like it, but it used to be (don't know now) too pricey compared to other programs. It was like $400+ in 1993!

Thanks, Gracie - It worked!! party


Now if I could just get my cursor to go to the beginning of a line. I've tried home and also home left arrow, neither works. Any suggestions?

Hi, Toni...glad that worked for you. Your key should work to take you to the beginning of a line; I use in WP5.1 but that will probably do something different in Word.

You might try unplugging and then replugging-in your keboard connection and then restarting your computer; or, if you're using some special aftermarket keyboard (like a curved or split keyboard), you might try reintalling it (these last are suggestions from a computer-geeky friend of mine). The commands below are all the document navigation shortcuts...they're all listed in Word2000.

Quote:
LEFT ARROW
One character to the left
RIGHT ARROW
One character to the right
CTRL+LEFT ARROW
One word to the left
CTRL+RIGHT ARROW
One word to the right
CTRL+UP ARROW
One paragraph up
CTRL+DOWN ARROW
One paragraph down
SHIFT+TAB
One cell to the left (in a table)
TAB
One cell to the right (in a table)
UP ARROW
Up one line
DOWN ARROW
Down one line
END
To the end of a line
HOME
To the beginning of a line
ALT+CTRL+PAGE UP
To the top of the window
ALT+CTRL+PAGE DOWN
To the end of the window
PAGE UP
Up one screen (scrolling)
PAGE DOWN
Down one screen (scrolling)
CTRL+PAGE DOWN
To the top of the next page
CTRL+PAGE UP
To the top of the previous page
CTRL+END
To the end of a document
CTRL+HOME
To the beginning of a document
SHIFT+F5
To a previous revision
SHIFT+F5
To the location of the insertion point when the document was last closed
I'll do almost anything to keep my fingers over the main keyboard, so once my company switches to Windows I'll be studying these shortcuts hard smile . Hope this helps!
