Keyboard Shortcuts

This is how I save TONS of time...by using keyboard shortcuts. I have listed the most common for the PC (CTRL + a letter key) and the Mac (Command +a letter key). Happy Shortcutting!

Other helpful hints for the Mac…

To use a “right click” (without changing your mighty mouse to act like a PC mouse in the system preferences) hold down the CTRL (control) key and then click on the object/link that you wanted to right click. Your options will appear on the screen.

• Don’t forget to (on the Mac side) drag and drop your Flash/USB drives to the “trash” to eject them otherwise you might damage the data!
• To burn CDs/DVDs just put the CD/DVD in, drag the files to the CD/DVD icon/picture on your desktop, and then grab the CD/DVD icon and drag it onto your “dock” where there is a black/yellow burn circle. Change the name of the CD to whatever you want and then click BURN!
