it brings up the ergonomic question.

I'm all about ergonomics!

I use the mouse about 99% of the time simply because of the ergonomics of my
work area.

IMHO there are too many keyboard shortcuts to remember! OTOH, I guess you
don't need to remember *all* of them!

Thank you. I agree it does depend on the tasks. The question arises from
my
work as a project accountant. My supervisor, myself and many I work with
are
very mouse-oriented. Our in-house expert is telling us that is sub-par in
the efficiency. We do work in many worksheets but each and every one is
different. Also it brings up the ergonomic question. It certainly isn't
meant to be controversial, only to verify our work methods. I appreciate
your response. :)

It depends on what (and how much) you need to accomplish.

This is my opinion:
The mouse is easier for exploring menu structures to find the commands
I'm
interested in, but slow and inaccurate for speed work. Once I know where
they are....if I have to repeat the same command many times (or even a
few)...I'll generally use the keyboard shortcuts or navigate with the
keyboard using the underlined menu characters.

Does that help?

Could you tell me which method is considered the most efficient in
Excel?
Obviously a combination of all are used but which is preferred? Mouse,
Keyboard or Toolbar?
