Instructify

I’m a virtuoso at Microsoft Word. Whether it’s mail merges, macros, and the Ctrl-arrow key trick to skip ahead a word at a time, I can do it all. But I use Excel like a Yankee trying to talk Southern. I can do the basic stuff like sums and averages and such, but I don’t know the time-saving tricks that separate the advanced user from the dude who tries to shoehorn a text document into a spreadsheet because the tables in Word are so crappy.

If this sounds familiar, TechJive can help you become an Excel master with a listing of Excel shortcut keystrokes that streamline common tasks like selecting columns and rows, or cycling through various worksheets. Plus, helpful users post their own shortcuts in the comments, making this a valuable resource next time you need to update your grade book or put together a budget proposal.

Give some of these a try, or enlighten others by posting a comment. As for me, once I get these keystrokes down I can attempt to dominate another Microsoft program. That’s right, I’m looking at you, Minesweeper. –BILL FERRIS
