Hi, Dave. I don't have NBP's guide to Excel key commands, but I've just looked through their guide to commands for several media players. Nowhere is there a copyright notice. As Soronel said, it is unlikely that a list of key commands can be copyrighted, but even Anna Dresner's introduction shows no claim to copyright. The question of copyright is a red herring raised by another lister. there doesn't appear to be any infringement here.


The only point I meant to make is that as visually impaired consumers, it is in our best interests to keep resource producers such as NBP in good financial shape. I know Dave Carlson agrees. I'll repeat NBP's website address so that people can look at all the guides NBP sells at reasonable prices: www.braille.com

My apologies to Bruce and Caroline for prolonging this thread, but I don't want to be the cause of any misinformation.

It is more than likely, that is, beyond the bounds of certainty and probability, any publication produced by organizations such as National Braille press, are copyrighted to those organizations, and therefore are subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable copyright laws, including liability to prosecution under such laws for infringement of such laws.

So, when we see something like "produced by" or "copyright", all of us should strenuously reframe from posting on any list, any copyrighted material.

sincerely:

Dave Durber

In fairness to the National Braille Press, this keystrokes guide undoubtedly comes from one of their publications that typically cost $5. It would be unfortunate if NBP and Anna Dresner were discouraged from putting together these valuable booklets by having their contents copied and widely circulated for free. I mean no criticism. Dave apologized for having posted this list in error instead of sending it directly to Tom, and his intent was to help a fellow lister. I'm just urging people who benefit from such keystrokes lists to obtain them directly from NBP to keep them motivated to continue producing their useful computer and other publications. The website is: www.braille.com

Tom,

Not sure if this is copyrighted, since there is no copyright declarations in this version I received from one of many lists to which I subscribe, so here goes:

Introduction

Compiling a reference card is a less exact science than it used to be. At one time, I could simply go to the help system for each program, gather up all the keyboard commands, put them into tables, reorganize them a bit, and declare myself done. Not anymore. In many parts of Office 2007, commands are scattered throughout several parts of help, sometimes in lists in which almost, but not quite, all the commands are the same as those in another list. Occasionally a basic command is missing from help. So finding the commands is a bit like one of those computer games where you wander through mazes looking for treasure. I hope I've found all the treasure you need, and that you will find this reference card useful.

General Keyboard Commands for Office 2007

The keyboard shortcuts that are described throughout this reference guide refer to the U.S. keyboard layout. Keys on other layouts might not correspond exactly to the keys on a U.S. keyboard.

For keyboard shortcuts in which you press two or more keys simultaneously, the keys to press are separated by a plus sign. For keyboard shortcuts in which you press one key immediately followed by another key, the keys to press are separated by a comma.

Smart Tag Tips

You can ask to be notified by a sound whenever a smart tag appears. To hear audio cues, you must have a sound card. You must also have Microsoft Office Sounds installed on your computer. If you have access to the World Wide Web, you can download Microsoft Office Sounds from the Microsoft Office Online Web site. After you install the sound files, do the following in Microsoft Office Access 2007, Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint
2007, or Microsoft Office Word 2007:
1. Press ALT+F to open the menu under the Microsoft Office Button, and
then press I to open Program Options.
2. Press A to select Advanced.
3. Press ALT+S twice to move to the Provide feedback with sound check box,
which is under General, and then press SPACEBAR. 4. Press TAB repeatedly to select OK, and then press ENTER. Note that when you select or clear this check box, the setting affects all Office programs that support sound.

Navigating the Office Fluent Ribbon and Finding Access Keys

Access keys, also called KeyTips, provide a way to quickly use a command by pressing a few keys, no matter where you are in the program. Every command in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 can be accessed by using an access key. You can get to most commands by using two to five keystrokes. To explore the ribbon and find out the access key for the feature you want to use, do the following:
1. Press ALT to go to the Ribbon.
2. Press the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to move between the tabs on the
ribbon, such as Home, Insert, and Page Layout. Most screen readers read the KeyTip associated with each tab when you arrow to it. 3. Press TAB or SHIFT+TAB to move through the items on the current tab. As you tab to each item, most screen readers tell you the KeyTips you need to access it. 4. The items within a tab are arranged in smaller groups. You can move between these with SHIFT+LEFT OR RIGHT ARROW, except when you land on an edit box. In that case, press TAB or SHIFT+TAB until you're not in an edit box, and then press SHIFT+LEFT or RIGHT ARROW. 5. When you find the item you want, note the KeyTip you need to reach that item; you can use it in the future to access it quickly. 6. Press SPACEBAR or ENTER to execute the command, or press ALT or ESC to leave the ribbon without executing a command.

You can access many commands that were in the File menu in previous versions of Office--as well as the Options dialog where you can change options like AutoCorrect, automatic formatting, and whether all Word documents open in separate windows or the same window--from the Office menu, located IN THE upper left corner of the screen. Press ALT+F to open this menu.

One type of control on the Ribbon and the Office menu is the split button. Press Enter to activate the main function of the button, or SPACEBAR to open a menu related to the button. For example, pressing ENTER on the Print split button opens the Print dialog, while pressing SPACEBAR opens a menu of additional printing choices.

Press F1 to get help with the item that has focus on the ribbon. If no help is available for that specific item, a more general help topic will open.

For example, to insert the euro currency symbol, hold down the ALT key and press 0128 on the numeric keypad. Make sure that NUM LOCK is on before you type the character code.

Note: ANSI character set: An 8-bit character set used by Microsoft Windows that allows you to represent up to 256 characters (0 through 255) by using your keyboard. The ASCII character set is a subset of the ANSI set.

Note: If you type extensively in another language, you may prefer to switch to a different keyboard layout instead.

Adding a Keyboard Layout

When you switch the keyboard layout to a different language, the position of letters, numbers and punctuation may change, and any special characters used in that language will be readily available. The text you type is automatically identified as being written in that language, and if your screen reader detects languages and has the one you are typing in installed, it will read what you type in that language. A wide variety of layouts is available within Windows.

If your default language is U.S. English and you switch to French or Spanish, you can check the spelling and grammar of the text you type simply by running a spelling or grammar check. If you want to be able to check spelling or grammar for other languages, you must purchase language packs for each one from Microsoft at office.microsoft.com/en-us/suites/FX102113661033.aspx. The current cost is US$24.95 apiece. Multiple language packs are also available.

Here's how to install a keyboard layout:
1. Go to the Start menu and open Control Panel.
2. Press ENTER on Regional and Language Options.
3. Press CTRL+TAB to go to the Languages page in this multi-page dialog.
4. Press Enter on the first choice in this dialog, the Details button.
5. You are now on a combo box where you can decide which language is your
default. This box also shows which layouts are already installed. If you explore this box, be sure to arrow to the layout you want to be your default before leaving the combo box.
6. Tab to the ADD button and press ENTER.
7. Arrow to the language you want to install and press ENTER.

Keyboard Shortcuts for Working with Shapes, Text Boxes, and WordArt

Accessibility Tips when Working with a SmartArt Graphic

2007 Microsoft Office System programs are designed to be used by people with different abilities. If you use an assistive aid, such as a screen reader or screen magnifier, the following tips may help you to work with your SmartArt graphic:

The Text pane is an outline representation of the information in your SmartArt graphic. You can open the Text pane and work directly in it to create and manipulate the shapes in your SmartArt graphic. The first time you insert a SmartArt graphic, the Text pane opens automatically and you can immediately start typing your text. Most screen readers give you the level and hierarchy of the information in your shapes. If you prefer to work directly in your SmartArt graphic rather than in the Text pane, press CTRL+SHIFT+F2 to switch between the Text pane and your SmartArt graphic. When you enter text in the Text pane, corresponding shapes are added to your SmartArt graphic and sized based on the amount of text that you enter. If necessary, the font size is automatically reduced so that all of your text fits into the shape. You can also resize the shape manually. The table at the end of this article lists the keyboard shortcuts for resizing shapes.

Create a SmartArt Graphic

1. Insert a SmartArt graphic in one of the following ways: a. Press ALT+N, M to click SmartArt in the Illustrations group on the Insert tab. b. In Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 only, select text on a slide, and then on the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click Convert to SmartArt Graphic. 2. Press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to select the type of graphic that you want.
3. Press TAB to move to the Layout task pane.
4. Press the arrow keys to select the layout that you want.
5. Press ENTER to insert the selected layout.
6. Enter your text in the Text pane in outline form. You can modify the
Text pane just like you can modify any outline or bulleted list. 7. Press CTRL+SHIFT+F2 to move from shape to shape and to hear more information.

To select multiple shapes by using the keyboard, select a line of text in the Text pane, and then press SHIFT+DOWN ARROW to select the additional shapes. You cannot select nonadjacent shapes (lines of text) in the Text pane, nor can you select only connecting lines from the Text pane.

Note: The Select Multiple Objects box and toolbar button are no longer available in the 2007 Office release.

Add Alternative Text to a SmartArt Graphic

1. Right-click the border of the SmartArt graphic, and then do one of the following:
a. In Microsoft Office Excel 2007, click Size and Properties.
b. In Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and Microsoft Office Word 2007, click
Size. c. In Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, click Size and Position. 2. Click the Alt Text tab, and then in the Alternative text box, enter your text.

Customize Keyboard Shortcuts

You can customize keyboard shortcuts by assigning keyboard shortcuts (or shortcut keys) to a command, macro, font, style, or commonly used symbol. You can also remove keyboard shortcuts. To select a command to assign a shortcut to or remove a shortcut from, do the following:

1. Press ALT+F to press the Office button.
2. Press I; or up arrow to Options and press ENTER.
3. Type C to move to Customize in the list of option types.
4. Press SHIFT+TAB until you reach the Customize button and press ENTER.
You are now in a list of categories from which you can choose commands. 5. Press DOWN ARROW or UP ARROW to select the category that contains the command or other item that you want to assign a keyboard shortcut to or remove a keyboard shortcut from.
6. Press TAB to move to the Commands box.
7. Press DOWN ARROW or UP ARROW to select the name of the command or other
item that you want to assign a keyboard shortcut to or remove a keyboard shortcut from. 8. Tab once to the Current Keys box. Any keyboard shortcuts that are currently assigned to that command or item appear there. 9. Do one of the following:

Assign a Keyboard Shortcut

Begin keyboard shortcuts with CTRL or a function key. a. Press the TAB key repeatedly until the cursor is in the Press new shortcut key box. b. Press the combination of keys that you want to assign. For example, press CTRL plus the key that you want to use. c. Use your screen reader's mouse cursor to look at "Currently assigned to" (which is near the bottom of the screen) to see whether the combination of keys is already assigned to a command or other item. If the combination is already assigned to a command you plan to use, type a different combination. Important: Reassigning a combination of keys means that you can no longer use the combination for its original purpose. For example, pressing CTRL+B changes selected text to bold. If you reassign CTRL+B to a new command or other item, you will not be able to make text bold by pressing CTRL+B unless you restore the keyboard shortcut assignments to their original settings by clicking Reset All. d. Press the TAB key repeatedly until Assign is selected, and then press ENTER.

Note: If you use a programmable keyboard, the key combination CTRL+ALT+F8 might be reserved for initiating keyboard programming.

Remove a Keyboard Shortcut

The Quick Access Toolbar

The Quick Access Toolbar is a customizable toolbar that contains a set of commands that are independent of the tab that is currently displayed. You can access the buttons on this toolbar by pressing ALT+a number, making it easy to access up to 10 commands you use on a regular basis. The first command on the toolbar is accessed with ALT+1, the second with ALT+2, and so on, with ALT+0 accessing the 10th command. You can move the Quick Access Toolbar between two possible locations and add buttons that represent commands to the Quick Access Toolbar. You can also change the order in which items appear on the Quick Access Toolbar in the Customize dialog discussed above.

Move the Quick Access Toolbar

The Quick Access Toolbar can be located in one of two places: the upper-le ft corner next to the Microsoft Office Button (default location) or below the Ribbon. Since the latter location covers some of the work area, it's best to leave the Quick Access Toolbar in its default location. If you need to move it, however, here's how:

1. Press ALT to go to the ribbon.
2. Press SHIFT+TAB twice to go to the Customize Quick Access Toolbar
button and press SPACEBAR. 3. Press UP ARROW twice to reach either Show Below the Ribbon or Show Above the Ribbon, and press ENTER. Add a Command to the Quick Access Toolbar

1. Press ALT to go to the ribbon.
2. Press the arrow keys, TAB, and SHIFT+the arrow keys as needed to locate
the command you want to add.
3. Press the Context key or SHIFT+10.
4. Press ENTER on the first choice, Add to Quick Access Toolbar.

Notes

* There is no option in Microsoft Office for increasing the size of the buttons representing the commands on the Quick Access Toolbar. The only way to increase the size of the buttons is to lower the screen resolution you use.
* You cannot display the Quick Access Toolbar on multiple lines.
* Only commands can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. The contents of
most lists, such as indent and spacing values and individual styles, which also appear on the Ribbon, cannot be added to the Quick Access Toolbar.

Remove a Command from the Quick Access Toolbar

Here's how to remove a command you don't want from the Quick Access Toolbar:

1. Press ALT to go to the ribbon.
2. Press SHIFT+TAB 3 times to go to the Quick Access Toolbar.
3. Find the command you wish to remove.
4. Press the Context key or SHIFT+F10.
5. Press ENTER on the first choice, Remove From the quick Access Toolbar.

Changing the Order in which Commands Appear on the Quick Access Toolbar

1. Type ALT+F to open the Office menu.
2. Type I; or up arrow to Options and press ENTER.
3. Type C; or down arrow to Customize.
4. Tab to the Quick Access Toolbar list.
5. Down arrow as needed to find the item you want to move.
6. Tat to the Move Up or Move Down button and press ENTER.
7. Repeat as necessary to reorder all the items as you like.
