Am I FORCED to use a mouse in Office 2004?

[Murray Hill NY]

When I switched back to a Mac early in '06, I was qickly annoyed with my
inability to work without the mouse. In the PC world, that wonderful ALT key,
when pressed, underscores one letter in each menu name, and when that key is
pressed, the menu appears, and so on through every single choice. It's fast.
Way fast.

I can't seem to do this on my Mac, and I printed 13 pages of built in
shortcuts for Word but there is no such list for Excel. I don't want to
create custom key strokes, I just want the menus to drop at the touch of a
key, not the touch of a mouse.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Ask in the Mac newsgroups instead of in an Outlook newsgroup.

I can't answer the general question but if you type "shortcuts" in the "What
are you searching for?" help box in Excel Help there is quite a lot there.
If you look for "keystrokes", you get nothing

But this is an Outlook group, not a mac group, so let's finish there.
