Shortcuts for Excel, Word & Powerpoint

Before toolbars, we used shortcut keys to navigate thru Microsoft applications. While the toolbars are nice to have, they take more time than using a shortcut key.

Rather than list all the shortcut keys, I will list the shortcuts that I use. Add a few of these to your repertoire and you’ll increase your speed in excel.

For each of these hold the Ctrl key and the key shown at the same time. (You don’t need to click or hold down the “+” key.)

CTRL+9 Hides selected rows

CTRL+0 Hides selected columns

CTRL+A Selects the entire worksheet

CTRL+B Bold

CTRL+C Copy

CTRL+F Find

CTRL+G Go to

CTRL+H Replace

CTRL+I Italics

CTRL+P Print

CTRL+S Save

CTRL+V Paste

For each of these, select the function key:

F2 Edit within the cell

F4 Repeats the last command

F5 Go to

F7 Spell check

F9 Manual calculation
