Question regarding to the office ribbon...
-
Hello all, After all this years I've got used to use alt+some keys in order to reach almost everywhere in the menus of my old office system. I've seen a post regarding a possible solution for people that don't get to the new style and I wondered: is there any way to reach the same commands using this method (ALT+keys)? I hate searching for the mouse when I'm using the keyboard it makes me to be slower... For example (using Spanish word so I suppose is not the same in your case), when I want to set a different language I use ALT+H+I and then right arrow + return, I select the language pressing some times the first letter of the language name... As always thank you in advance.

I'm not sure about all of them, but the common ones I've used in previous versions work the same. I just tried your ALT+H+I combination in Word 2007 and got the color pad but I don't have an internationalized version installed.

All the old office Alt-whatever shortcuts still work in the English version. Have you tried them in the Spanish one? In addition if you hold down the alt key new shortcuts for the first 10 items on your quick access bar (above the ribbon) and the first halfish of the ribbon appear. You could add the language selector to the Quick Access bar and access it as Alt-Number if all else fails.
You know, every time I tried to win a bar-bet about being able to count to 1000 using my fingers I always got punched out when I reached 4.... -- El Corazon

There are two ways:
- Just use the same shortcuts (a message will pop-up saying Office 2003 compatabilty shortcut or something). Most I've fried do work (can't use arrow keys though)
- There's a replacement that puts menus back instead of the ribbon, costs money but can't remember what it's called. Marc was the one who requested it so might have a link to it.
