Robin's suggestion is a good one. But, I have discovered a keyboard strategy for renaming the current Excel sheet that does not require use of the Mouse. Here are the steps: 1. Navigate to the sheet you want to rename with Control-Page Up or Control-Page Down 2. Activate the Home tab in the Ribbon with Alt-H 3. Activate the Format button to open its pull down menu with O 4. Select Rename from the pull down menu with R (or Down Arrow to Rename and press Enter) 5. Your focus will move to the sheet's name edit field and the current name will be selected. Type in the new name (it will overwrite the current name) and press Enter. Best, Marc

Use Control Shift F to open the Window Eyes find dialog box, then type in the name of the sheet (for example "Sheet1" without the quotes) and hit enter. The mouse will route to the correct sheet tab along the bottom of the Excel window. 2. Right mouse click with either the physical mouse or by hitting the right click button on the mouse navigation keys on the numpad - it's the asterisk key or the key just above the 9 on the numpad. Hitting the the application context key or Shift F10 does not work because that opens the context menu for where the cursor is. A menu will open once you mouse click. 3. Rename is one of the options on the menu. Hit that option, then the text of the current sheet name will be pre-selected, so just starting to type will overwrite the current name. Hit enter when done. -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+robin_van_lant=key....@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Don Smith via Talk Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2016 6:30 AM To: 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' Subject: question re ms excell Morning all: Another question from my friend in Australia Could you please ask the key strokes to rename a sheet in excel 2013 Thannks Don _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
