New to MAC

I just switched from PC to MAC and cannot find the short key stroke(s)
in Excel like "F4" with PC to create absolute cell references in
formulas. Is there one? Thanks Much, Rod

FWIW, in the Mac community, "Mac" is preferred over "MAC" (which in
other contexts refers to the Media Access Control address).

You can find MacOffice keyboard shortcuts by looking in Help (search
"keyboard shortcuts").

For instance, to toggle addressing modes in XL, use CMD-t.

You can find MacOffice keyboard shortcuts by looking in Help (search
"keyboard shortcuts").

Two third party applications that might be useful:

Can't remember the menu shortcuts...check out Keycue. The neat thing is it
lets you see your Entourage script shortcuts in addition to the ones added
by the Entourage application. Works in all Mac applications. ($19.95)

Check out xCuts.... a utility for looking up Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts.
includes a section on Windows shortcuts that lets you look up the Mac OS X
equivalent. (freeware)

I've been using Macs for years and never heard of the Media Access
Control address.
What is it?

Thanks - though, you must admit, unless talking with hard-core techs, no
casual user asking a Mac Vs PC question will ever be understood using
"PC vs MAC".

Depends on what you mean by "hard-core techs". Anyone I've known who has
to maintain networks in a mixed PC/Mac environment pretty quickly can
differentiate between Macs and MACs. They didn't necessarily need to
know *much* about them, but they could distinguish...

I meant "misunderstood". Thanks for the insight. I've only maintained my
own Mac networks, so I've only had to familiarize myself with the tech
terminology on a "need to know" basis. You catch my drift, though.
