Office 2007 Keyboard Shortcuts

I’ve been using Office 2007 for the past six months but its just today that I ran into the awesome keyboard shortcut.

Man, the Office guys have really pulled a rabbit out of the hat with this one and I can shoot myself for not figuring this out earlier.

What it boils down to is that every icon in the ribbon/toolbar has a keyboard shortcut and you can get it to with a few keystrokes WITHOUT HAVING TO REMEMBER ANYTHING! Whoooooooooooooo.

Just press Alt and start typing in the characters that start showing up on the toolbars to get to your icon.

For example to do a ‘Paste Special’ (which I keep doing a lot) you just need to type in ALT, H, V, S. Perfect!
