Keyboard Shortcut to toggle b/w Find and Replace and Active Worksheet?
Hi: I open the Find and replace Dialogue Box using CTRL+F and then enter the value I am looking for. Excel moves the cursor to the cell in question with the found value. Is there anyway to then use the keyboard to move from the dialogue box into the actual worksheet, without having to mouse click back into the open file? It seems there has to be some type of way to use the keyboard to move from the Find Dialogue box without using the mouse. I hope I am being clear on what I am trying to do, it seems very simple yet I cannot figure out what keyboard command to use to basically select the Excel Window while leaving the Find Dialouge box open. Thank you. - BWP

This is what I do: Ctrl-f, enter criteria, press Enter to go to first match. Then press Esc to close the dialog. Then use Shift-F4 repeatedly to go to each successive match.

jrrechHi, If you are trying to keep the dialog box open the answer is no. If you just want to reach the spreadsheet press Esc. You can also press Alt+F4 or Tab until you reach the Close button and then Enter. If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Outlook and XP Keyboard Access
I just had Windows XP installed on my machine and I am having problems with keyboard access in Outlook 2002. I do not use a mouse and I have my inbox set up with the preview pane. Prior to XP I could get to my inbox with CTRL+Shift+i and then tab around the panes (mail list, preview pane and folders). With XP I can not get a selection in any pane without turning off the preview pane and then turning it on again. Which I then have to repeat every time I use the shortcut to get back to the inbox. This is making me very frustrated. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance! It m...
Desktop shortcut
I know there have been several posts about this but can't seem to figure out some of the answers. I have lost, for some reason, the Create a Desktop Short cut from my right click context menu. I tried one thing and all I got was the Desktop icon on my Desktop. I did more searching but can NOT find: "the file *Desktop (create shortcut)* from the Default user folder." I went to my User folder and there is no such item. Am I looking in the wrong area? And while I'm at it, what could I have done to remove it in the first place. Don't want to do that aga...
Worksheet #2
Is there a way to move from one worksheet to another and stay in the same cell? For example, in Worksheet1, you need to input data in cell A5 and A6. Now you need to go to Worksheet2 and enter different information, but still in cell A5 and A6. So no matter where you start in the first Worksheet, can you go to the next worksheet and be in the same cell Thanks for any help. Select all sheets, then select the cell in question, now ungroup the sheets [MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS], and then use CTRL+PGUP or CTRL+PGDOWN to navigate the sheets -- Regards Ken.......................

Startup from keyboard
Hi to you all I have been using m/s XP for the last 5 years with computer set to start at the touch of any key on the keyboard . I recently got a new computer with Vista installed but can not remember how I set computer up to do this. Can anyone jog my memory. Thanks in anticipation. Bob This is the wrong newsgroup. Try the Windows Vista newsgroup. BTW, what does Great Plains or GP or Dynamics have to do with waking a computer up from sleep? ;-) -- Japheth Nolt Microsoft SBF Specialist Landis Computer www.landiscomputer.com 6/19/2007 11:39:30 AM blackbob wrote: > Hi to you all ...
Workplace activities.
There is nowhere to close an activity. If an activity is past the due date it should disappear and not be displayed with the active activites except under the pastdue activity list.
