Keyboard Shortcut Keys to Help you Navigate

[Aline in Ottawa]

Hi Everyone,

I though this list might be useful for those having problems navigating the site. I use IE, but I'm sure these shortcuts work with other browsers. Many of these can also be used in Windows, and Word Processors (Word, WordPerfect, etc.)

You might want to copy/paste the list and print it.

Hope it helps.
