HOW TO USE MORE KEYSTROKES:

Use keystrokes instead of the mouse when maneuvering through email and the internet. Following are a few keystrokes that are helpful:

Microsoft Outlook:

• Use [Ctrl+M] to send or receive a message; if you need to dial-up and log-on with your computer, this command will do all for you as well as import new messages
• Use [Crtl+N] to write new messages
• Use [Ctrl+F] to forward messages
• Use [Ctrl+R] to reply to messages or [Alt+L] to reply to All
• Use [Shift+Down Arrow] to select messages to delete
• Use [Ctrl+Shift+B] to go to the Address Book
• Use [Ctrl+Shift+V] to move a message to a selected folder

Microsoft Internet Explorer:

• Use [Backspace] to go back a page
• Use [Tab] to move through links

Netscape Navigator:

• Use [Ctrl+T] to send or receive email
• Use [Ctrl+M] to create a new message
• Use [Ctrl+L] to forward a message
• Use [Ctrl+R] to reply

Remember to take frequent breaks, regardless of using mouse or keystrokes. For additional keystrokes see Email Tip 331.
