READERS WRITE<\/p>\n
After reading the last newsletter on \"The Need for Speed,\" Bill Rubidge wrote:<\/p>\n
One suggestion I would add, since it is so basic, is: Learn to use the keyboard whenever possible, rather than the mouse. And I'm not necessarily suggesting learning and memorizing the keyboard commands--I'm just suggesting using the keyboard Alt keys to access the Word menus and move through them to the command you want and would otherwise access via numerous mouse moves and clicks. Once you display the keyboard commands (use the options to do this), learning to use the keyboard instead of the mouse is pretty quick.<\/p>\n
Many thanks to Bill.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
