I am trying to draw shapes in a worksheet without using the mouse. Use of
the keytips to get through the insertion of a shape (such as a rectangle)
work fine but once the shape is selected from the gallery and the worksheet
displays the drawing "plus" symbol, all keyboard functions are normal. How
do I now draw the shape with the keyboard?

in Control Panel, Accessibility Options, Mouse, Enable "MouseKeys"
