Keyboard Shortcuts
http://live.pirillo.com/ – Keyboard shortcuts are really useful – being able to use common functions without having to use the mouse saves a ton of time.
By hold on the alt key and then double-clicking a word in Outlook 2007, you can open the research pane. This gives you the definition of a word as well as references, and research. This same short cut also works on Word 2007.
There are a ton of other useful keyboard shortcuts. We personally love ctrl-v, ctrl-c, and ctrl-x.
What keyboard shortcuts do you need to survive?

I use a shortcut I discovered on my own although it might very well documented. From the desktop in Windows pressing alt-F4 opens the Windows Shutdown option. Very useful for me.

My favorite keyboard shortcut is WindowsKey-D (hold down the Windows key (the wavy flag) and press “D”. It automatically minimizes all open windows and leaves you with the desktop. The more windows you have open, the more time you save when trying to get to the desktop screen.

I some how disconnected my ctl – v. Holding down control – v now puts me into a window I have no use for. How do I re-establish control – v for pasting to whatever I want?
