Since they're still publishing a text-based newsletter, it's almost impossible to point you in the direction of the original content at this moment.

Shift + Open becomes Save As
Shift + Save becomes Open

Shift + Print Preview becomes Print
Shift + Sort Ascending becomes Sort Descending
Shift + Sort Descending becomes Sort Ascending
Shift + Underline becomes Double Underline
Shift + Double Underline becomes Underline
