Our machine actually has 107 keys, despite the fact that it is a 17-inch notebook. But that's not the point. I will try to take some time doing a bit of reading. My problem is that time to spend learning is very restrictive at the moment. My time needs to be spent on production and productivity just at the moment and I was kind of hoping there would be a basic method of navigation which required little pre-knowledge.
OH well, looks like i'll have to try and find a little more extra time. I know that it's kind of like expecting to be able to drive a car as soon as you jump into the driver's seat but there it is. Thanks all for the advice. I guess the first thing is to sort out the removal of the antiquated version already installed.

As for better access there is improved object navigation and flat review. I suggest you read the user's guide as this will explain what they do and how to use them and even provide the keystrokes for both desktop and laptop layouts.
