Thanks Jean. I noted with comments in the chapter I'm reviewing where the keystrokes (and in some cases, menu paths) differ, and also compiled a small list.
Is there some place we can maintain the list--aside from my just posting it here?

Rachel, Thanks for bringing this up. IMO it's an important topic. We do have a few notes in the Getting Started guide about the different keystrokes for Mac users. I think these are mainly in Chapter 1, but there may be some in other places. The Writer Guide probably has some notes, too. However, we do not have a full collection of them anywhere in the user guides, and not everyone will read the Getting Started book. I think it would be very good to have a collection of the Mac keystrokes to put somewhere in each book, so if you could make a list as you go along, that would be very helpful. --Jean --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
