RE: excel
Hi Lizzy,
Thank you for your post, welcome to the forum, in answer to your question; Shortcuts are usually the name given to Keyboard Shortcuts, these are performed by applying two or more keys at the same time, such as CTRL+C (you hold down the CTRL key and then press the C key,) this will perform the command Copy on selected text, then navigate to where you want the selected text to be Pasted and press the keyoard short cut CTRL+V.
When you become more proficient at using keyboard shortcuts they will become a part of your daily usage, and you will find they will speed up your usage of the program quite considerably. best regards Pete
