Switch from PC crossreference for shortcut Excel 2004

[bzcc]

I just switched to a Mac (os x) from MS2000 with Office 2000. Is there
a cross-reference for all the shortcuts for PC version of excel to the
Mac version 2004 of excel?

I know excel in PC well but some of my favorite shortcuts I can't find
in Mac's excel on the help menu.

If you are talking about keyboard shortcuts, go to the help menu and search
for keyboard shortcuts. The first result will get you a list of shortcuts by
category.

In addition to Bob's suggestion, you should know that keyboard shortcuts
in MacXL are nearly completely customizable. You can use
Tools/Customize/Keyboard... to assign shortcuts to XL commands.

Thank you I did print up the list and expand it is 18 pages. What I
was hoping for is a equvilant chart. For instance on a pc you type f2
to edit cell, mac its "control U". So my hopes was something like a
chart f2=CtlU. Maybe someone somewhere has done this, I just haven't
found it.

Thanks again.

Someone may have done this, but I've never seen it. One reason is that
keyboard shortcuts have changed from XL98 to XL2001 to XLv.X, so any
chart would have to be version specific.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll learn how to do this. I'm waiting
though for the release for any manuals for office 2004. No publisher
has release one yet. Perhaps next month. Thankyou for the sugestion.
