Perform Excel 2010 File Menu Commands with Handy Hot Keys


You activate all of the Excel 2010 hot keys by pressing down the Alt key before you type the various sequences of mnemonic letters. The mnemonic letter for all of the commands on the Excel 2010 File menu in the new Backstage View is F (for File). Therefore, all you have to concentrate on learning in the following table is the second letter in the File menu hot key sequence.


Unfortunately, not all of these second letters are as easy to associate and remember as Alt+F. For example, check out the Info option hot key sequence, Alt+FE, where the second mnemonic letter doesn’t occur anywhere in the option name (either in the word Info or even Information)!

Common Excel 2010 Hot Keys to Perform Formula Commands


You activate all of the Excel 2010 hot keys by pressing down the Alt key before you type the various sequences of mnemonic letters. All the hot key sequences for selecting the most common formula-related commands in Excel 2010 begin with the sequence Alt+M because the M in forMulas was the only mnemonic key still available (F was already assigned to the File menu commands).


After you know to press Alt+M to access one of the commands on the Formula tab of the Ribbon, it’s pretty easy sailing, if for no other reason than the commands on the Formula tab are pretty evenly and logically laid out.

Excel 2010 View Commands via Hot Keys


You activate all of the Excel 2010 hot keys by pressing down the Alt key before you type the various sequences of mnemonic letters. The mnemonic letter for all of the view-related commands in Excel 2010 is W (the last letter you see in vieW).


Therefore, all the hot keys for switching the Excel worksheet into a new view begin with Alt+W. After you know that, you’ll find most of the remaining fairly easy to deal with.

Excel 2010 Hot Keys for Editing Commands


You activate all of the Excel 2010 hot keys by pressing down the Alt key before you type the various sequences of mnemonic letters. The mnemonic letter for all of the editing commands is H (for Home) because all of these commands are conveniently located on the Home tab of the Ribbon.


However, even if you can remember to associate editing with the Home tab and keep in mind that Alt+H is always the starting point, you’re still not home free because the remaining letters in the hot key sequences are not as easy to remember as you might like.


Fortunately, the most common editing commands (Cut, Copy, and Paste) still respond to the old Ctrl+key sequences (Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+V, respectively), which are a lot quicker than their Alt+H equivalents, provided that you already know and regularly use them.
