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)!
