Hi Jürgen So you are still here ... after lurking for 2½ years. Great! However, with Excel 2010, if I press Alt+i, a tip pops up telling that I can continue using the shortcuts. Then, still holding Alt, I press r, and the row is inserted, but only from the current column and onwards. Shift+Space, Ctrl++ will insert a full row (from and including column A) no matter which column is current. So these two actions are not fully identical. If you have Access in mind, pressing Ctrl++ directly will move you to a new record. So is something missing from your installation? /gustav -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] På vegne af Jurgen Welz Sendt: 3. marts 2014 20:38 Til: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Emne: Re: [AccessD] Ramblings of a nutcase I was happy until they started messing with the keyboard shortcuts. Office began the downward spiral with the ribbon. I used to be able to insert a row with alt i, r. Now it's shift space, ctrl +. It was 3 keys on a typical keyboard turned to 4 (one key with your hands away from the home row) and 5 keys with my laptop (add shift = to get the +). I'd start any application I needed with the Windows key and a single other key (the first letter of the application- I'd just rename so the shortcut worked). I fail to understand the need to lose the old capability. It's not like it couldn't coexist. Windows 8 is negatively impacting productivity and there was never any need for it to do so. If the task bar takes up too much real estate on a screen, I can't help but wonder what braniac came up with the ribbon menu. Put that on a 21:9 widescreen monitor.. I've taken to setting up dual screens with one vertical and one horizontal. Ciao Jürgen Welz Edmonton, Alberta jwelz at hotmail.com
