Keyboard vs Mouse
I am attempting to help someone with a disability to use Excel.
Is there any way to establish keystrokes (shortcuts) in place of using the mouse to push buttons on the toolbars? Thanks in advance... -- Gary's Student gsnu200709 |

Try pressing Alt one time to access the menu bar.
From there you can use Tab or the arrow keys to access File, Edit, View, etc. If you want to access the other Toolbars, once you are on the menu bar by pressing Alt one time, then use Ctrl+Tab to access the various Toolbars. When you are on the desired Toolbar, then you can use Tab or the arrow keys to access the desired Toolbar item. Press enter to select the item. HTH, Paul "Gary''s Student" wrote in message ...

Thank you very much.
I'll start her out using your suggestions. I can now create some easy shortcuts for her myself using macros with SendKey combinations if she needs more help. Thanks again. -- Gary's Student gsnu200709 "PCLIVE" wrote: Try pressing Alt one time to access the menu bar.

No problem.
It is a pleasure to be able to contribute back to the Excel community. There is so much to we can do in Excell and I think we all can learn from each other at some point. Glad to help.
