I have a question: As we all know the MS office shortcuts for a Mac
are different than the ones we have on PCs. If I buy a new Mac, with
the Intel processor and install Windows, will I be able to maintain
the shortcuts that exist for PCs?
Ideally I will not install windows and I will have an MS office for a
Mac with the PC shortcuts, which I am so used to.
If you use MacOffice, you'll have the MacOffice keyboard shortcuts. To
get the WinOffice shortcuts, you need to run WinOffice.
However, unlike WinOffice, MacOffice lets you easily customize just
about any command's shortcut, so that might be an option.
The differences are no big deal. Have a look at some notes on the way I use
Word for the Mac, titled "Bend Word to Your Will", which are available as a
free download from the Word MVPs' website
(http://word.mvps.org/Mac/Bend/BendWordToYourWill.html). On pages 151-152
there is an article, 'PCs and Macs, main differences in Word interfaces'
which includes a table of the dozen most commonly occurring equivalents. And
on both the Mac and the PC, you can compile a document of all keyboard
commands by following the notes under the heading 'Standard keyboard
shortcuts in Word' on page 72.
With those insights, you can modify the keyboard shortcuts (including making
*additional* commands) as it suits you.
[Note: "Bend Word to your will" is designed to be used electronically and
most subjects are self-contained dictionary-style entries. If you decide to
read more widely than the item I've referred to, it's important to read the
front end of the document -- especially pages 3 and 5 -- so you can select
some Word settings that will allow you to use the document effectively.]
PS: Other PC-specific content in "Bend Word to Your Will" can be seen by
doing a "Find" command for "PC".
