Super Shortcuts in MYOB


You can use shortcut keys regardless of what else you’re doing in MYOB at the time. For example, maybe you’re in the middle of recording a sale and you want to look up a supplier’s phone number. Simply press the Ctrl key on your keyboard and press the letter F to go straight to your Cards List. After you retrieve the info you need, press the Esc key to return to the sale. (Note: With a Macintosh, you use the Cmd key instead of the Ctrl key.)
