Displaying the Shortcut Keys

By James Marshall, About.com

1. From the Tools menu, select Customize.
2. In the Customize dialog box click the Options tab.
3. Under Other, select the Show ScreenTips on toolbars and Show shortcut keys in ScreenTips check boxes.

When you hold the mouse pointer over a command button on one of the toolbars, a box will appear naming the command and showing the shortcut key for the command.

Note: If you have other components of the Office suite installed on your computer, this change will affect all of them.
