SHORTCUT - a neat trick that only works with Internet Explorer. Say you want to go to Snap at
(http://www.snap.com). Rather than typing the full URL of the site, just type "snap" in the address
bar. Then hold down the Ctrl key and press the Enter key. The browser automatically inserts
"http://www." in front of snap, appends ".com" after it and opens that Web page. SHORTCUT: * In Internet Explorer Only To quickly open new Web Pages - just type the company name in the Address Bar, Ctrl + Enter. Another particularly useful shortcut (that works in both Netscape and Internet Explorer) is the Find function. If a keyword search takes you to a very large page, don't scroll through screens of text looking for the word - jump right to the spot where it appears. This can be particularly useful when you're trying to locate a specific keyword in a resume or search for a candidate's name in a long list. To use Find, you can either open the Edit menu and then select the Find command or you can simply hold down the Ctrl key and press F. Both ways work and many other programs support this feature. Chances are you can use this in your email program too. SHORTCUT: Find text anywhere: Ctrl + F If you want to move backward or forward through the Web pages you've visited, rather than repeatedly clicking the Back or Forward buttons you can use shortcut keys. To move backward, hold down the Alt key and press the left arrow key. To move forward, hold down the Alt key and press the right arrow key. It works in either Internet Explorer or Netscape. SHORTCUT: To Move Back - Alt + Left Arrow To Move Forward - Alt + Right Arrow To look at a list of all the sites you've visited (your online history, if you will), hold down the Ctrl key and press H. From this history list, you can see where you've been and quickly return to any of those sites. SHORTCUT: To look at your online history - Ctrl + H Rather than inundate you with any more, let's explain how to find out what shortcuts are available in any given application. Although each application has its own commands and functions, they are all called in the same way. You can open any of the menus from the keyboard by pressing the Alt key and then pressing the letter that is underlined in the menu name. Usually this is the first letter, but it isn't always the case. For example, in Internet Explorer the File menu is associated with the letter F, but the Favorites menu is associated with the letter A. Once the menu appears, type the letter associated with the command you want to execute (it is underlined too). If there is no letter associated with a command, scroll up and down the menu with the arrow keys. If a shortcut is associated with a command, it will appear right next to the command. For example, Ctrl + P appears next to the Print command on the File menu. SHORTCUT: Print - Ctrl + P You'll also want to check a program's Help Contents file (on the Help menu) for a list of keyboard shortcuts. So the next time you reach for the mouse to select a command, keep an eye out for a shortcut to do the job quicker. ___________________ QUICK LIST OF SHORTCUTS SHORTCUT: * In Internet Explorer only To quickly open new Web Pages - just type the company name in the Address Bar, Ctrl + Enter.
