Project Keystroke Shortcuts

[Rob]

Where can I find a resource for keystroke shortcuts that will keep me from
hopping to my mouse everytime I need to do something like activate the
dropdown box for the resource name field to assign a resource to a task? I
am thinking there is a way to select it, hit a letter to navigate to the
first matching (by letter) resource, and then hit enter to select?

As typical for most Microsoft apps, hitting the ALT key highlights the menu
bar, from there select the letter of the menu you want, then the sub
commmand.

For example to insert a new task:

ALT
i (brings up the insert menu)
n (inserts a new task)

Thanks for the reply. I have those down, I am looking for ones that are not
specifically laid out (all the ALT +'s are). Such as the entering the
resource name without going into dropdown with mouse.

Hi,

Display the drop down in any windows program is Alt+down arrow. All short
cut keys can be found in Help: search for Keyboard shortcuts.
