Thank you. I just figured out I can do a Shift+Tab to tab backwards. This
way, it's "only" four tabs.
Another thing: Some of the buttons don't have shortcuts. Often Cancel or
Close requires mousing instead of Alt+a letter. Any way around that? For
example, open a person's individual info screen.
Thank you, and I will make myself a short list of Windows shortcut keys.
