Windows 7 Starter Keyboard Shortcuts, KeyTips, and
 

If you are a fan of keyboard shortcuts and wonder what Word's new UI means for them, or if you don't know what a keyboard shortcut is,Windows 7 Discount, or if you are just tired of taking your hands off of your keyboard to use your mouse in Word, I highly recommend checking out Jensen Harris's Stroking the Keys in Office 12 & Odds,Office Pro Plus 2007, Ends, Shortcuts, and Accelerators post. In short: 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 Word 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,Office 2007 Activation, pressing the ALT key and then "1" will save your document, or pressing the ALT key and then "N" will switch the ribbon tab to the Insert Ribbon. If you press a key associated with one of the Ribbon tabs (for example,Office 2007 Standard, "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,Windows 7 Starter, will allow you to insert a Page Break into your document without leaving the keyboard. Nice.
