Hello, I have Excel 2007
If I want to delete a row I can select the row, right-click, then select Delete from the drop-down menu. No problem. I notice that the Delete option has the D underscored. This suggests that Alt+D should be a keyboard shortcut, but it doesn't work. What does the underscored D mean ? Thanks K |

The underscore means a hotkey or in other words, the letter that is pressed
to activate that option but ONLY when that menu is active. In this case the Edit menu. Therefore to delete, you need to press ALT E to activate the Edit menu and then just the D key to select Delete.

Also, Ctrl/- will delete a row or cell

Hi,
Just in case you don't follow Bob's notation - the shortcut key is Ctrl + - (Ctrl and the Minus key) And to add a little value to this comment, the shortcut key for inserting is Ctrl++ (Ctrl and the + key which require Shift if you are using the top row, but no shift key if you are using the number keypad) -- Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Bob Umlas, Excel MVP" wrote: Also, Ctrl/- will delete a row or cell "KRK" wrote: Hello, I have Excel 2007 If I want to delete a row I can select the row, right-click, then select Delete from the drop-down menu.
