Subject: [LegacyUG] shortcut keys
Sandra,
You mentioned that you could print out the page with the
shortcut keys.
"Yes there is a beautiful list of shortcut keys . [This is one
of my favoritest features and there is even a page that you can
print out to use as a cheat sheet until you have them memorized]"
Where is that page located, please? I use the Window$ shortcut
keys but would be interested in the Legacy shortcuts also.
Thanks,
Myrna Jorgensen
