Windows shortcut keys

[RKnauer]

Hi -

Is there any way to batch covert the shortcut keys for excel functions
on the Mac version to those standard on the Windows version? I know
this can be done for each individual function...is there any sort of a
program that converts them all automatically?

Thanks

No. One could theoretically write a macro to do so, I suppose, which
would make it easier to repeat. I just wish they hadn't screwed up by
changing the original Mac shortcuts when they ported XL from Mac to
Windows!

RKnauer, I wish there were as well. I just bought a new macbook (which I
love), but I still reach right for the old thinkpad when I need to use excel.
In my industry everyone uses the windows shortcuts and they're hardwired
into my fingers. Microsoft definitely needs to implement such a
compatibility feature in Mac Office 2008!

In the meantime here are some other (non-excel) mac shortcuts that you may
